What happens when the length of the wire in the series circuit is increased?
The current at every point in the series circuit becomes slightly less, because the increased length of wire adds slightly more resistance to the loop.
There are three sources of resistance in a parallel circuit two of them are rated at 20 ohms the other at 10 ohms what is the circuit's total resistances?
5 ohms.
What happens when current is reduced to very low value?
Be a little more specific. How low of a current value are you talking about? What does the circuit look like? And what components are a part of the circuit? Possibly, depending on the circuit, nothing extreme happens. You may get increased heat in the circuit due to more resistance. There are a lot of factors to weigh to answer this question...
What is the equivalent resistance through the entire circuit?
The equivalent resistance is the overall effect all of the resistances in a circuit has. Put another way, it is the value a single resistor in a circuit would have to be in order to have the same effect as all of the resistors resistors combined in a given circuit.
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
10 ohms 60 ohmsand 50 ohms are wired in series and connected to a 120-V battery What is the equivalent resistance for this circuit?
For a series circuit such as this, simply add the resistances to get the equivalent resistance.For a series circuit such as this, simply add the resistances to get the equivalent resistance.For a series circuit such as this, simply add the resistances to get the equivalent resistance.For a series circuit such as this, simply add the resistances to get the equivalent resistance.
What happens if the resistance is too big in a citcuit?
If the resistances to big in any circuit the circuit will become increasingly harder and eventually will break the circuit. An example of this is when the filament in an incandescent lightbulb burns out.
How are resistance combined in a series circuit?
Resistances are additive in a series circuit.
How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?
The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
What are the multiple resistance circuits?
a circuit with many resistances.
What are the series circuit rules?
current is constant in the series circuit. The resistances of the components add up and the potential differences is divided propotionally over the components depending on their resistances.
What happens to current in a simple circuit as potential difference is increased?
depends on the simple circuit. please describe it.
When the resistance in a circuit is increased what happens to the current?
The flow of electrons meets an increased impedance to it's flow.
What happens to the current in a circuit when the resistance is increased?
The flow of electrons meets an increased impedance to it's flow.
How do you calculate the joint resistance in a series circuit with three resistances?
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
What happens to the total impedance of a series RC ciRCuit as the frequency is increased?
when the frequency is increased the total impedance of a series RC circuit is decrease.
What is a seiries circuit?
Series CircuitWe say Resistances are in series if the same current flows through all Resistances. A circuit containing of only series resistances is called a series circuit. A series circuit is a circuit that has the same intensity of current flow through its elements.
