Played with a big DC motor. We would lower the field current to make it go faster & raise the field current to slow it down. Had to record & plot everything. The reason being (if I remember correctly) is that with a lower field current, a lower back EMF is generated & the armature current rises, speeding up the machine, if possible to regain the equilibrium & vice versa.
