Ben,

You say higher voltage makes for the same work at lower current. This is true, P=VA... but isn't the force generated by an electric motor ONLY proportional to current? If i recall correctly from electromagnetics class (way back), F=cAT (c is a constant, Amps, Turns).... (I'm really sketchy on the electromagnetics details).

Help
