I suspect there's a easy answer, and I'm just missing it. I have a 12V power supply, and a small electric motor. When I connect the motor to the power supply, the voltage across the power supply terminals drops to almost zero and the motor doesn't run, which suggests I'm shorting it. The resistance between the motor terminals (when not connected to anything) is about 15 ohms. Should it be this low, or is my motor burned out?
