Lets imagine for a second we are using the circuit for a fan. The fan itself is going to have ohms because, by definition anything that is using the electricity to do anything, is going to slow the flow of amps.
But then imagine you make the circuit, and you realize that the fan is spinning so fast the blades are falling off. Well then you'd need to add a resistor, to put more ohms into the circuit, so that less amps are getting to the fans. amps = Voltage/Resistance (ohms)
The resistor will dissipate power proportional to the power drawn by the fan though, so big fan = resistor is big heating 🥵
Not a big deal for a small fan though.
