When the air-conditioner is set to a lower temperature will it take less temperature?

They both take the same amount of energy regardless of settings (when in use) However the amount of times they will turn on or stay on in order to achieve this temperature is increased. Another words if the temp outside is 80' and the thermostat is on 75', the air conditioner will only go on long enough to make the room 75'. However if the Air conditioner is set at 70', the air conditioner will stay on longer (thus using more energy). The temperature setting is not what is blowing out of the vents, the air condtioner simply blows very cold air out untill the room becomes a set temperature. A fridge is not the same amount of energy as an air conditioner. It is signifigantly lower. I would recomend leaving those settings alone, and just make sure to shut the fridge door when not in use. Also electrical heaters work the same way, just in reverse on temperatures.

Since the AC or fridge must run longer in order to keep the temperature lower, the lower the temperature setting, the more power it will consume - since it must consume it over a longer period of time.

For all refrigeration appliances there is a high momentary startup load, then the normal power draw. The more times it starts the more power it uses, the longer it runs, the more power it uses.
When running they always use the same amount of rated power regardless of their thermostat setting. The longer they run, the higher the bill. Some A/C units may have a low-high power mode.

The amp draw may decrease slightly as the unit reaches the set point. The primary surge in power is at start up. If you have an amp meter you can observe the power consumption.
Good question

No when we set our AC. or fridge at low temperature it means COMPRSSOR of it has to run more and in turn leads to more power consumption.

same power just run longer the lower they are set.

FRIDGE CONSUME LESS POWER THEN AC.
