What is the voltage of microwave with a resistance of 5 ohms and current flowing of 10 amperes?

It looks as if you can use Ohm's Law to calculate this: V=IR (voltage = current x resistance).


Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?

Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.


The damaging effects of electric shock result from the current that flows in the body.Why then do signs read Danger-High Voltage rather than Danger-High Current?

It is true that the magnitude of current flow through the body determines the effects that occur. The path taken through the body is also responsible for the final outcome. For example the extremities will survive with higher current flow than the heart. There are a lot of factors that effect the magnitude of current flow, body resistance can be one variable. This changes from person to person, and from day to day , as well as conditional. For example wet hands will reduce the resistance to current flow and increase the magnitude of current through the body, dry, dirty hands/skin will have the opposite effect. With all other factors being equal (body resistance, path of current etc) The one variable that will 'push' more current through the body is the voltage level. Low voltage (less than 50V) typically has little effect. Where high voltage such as 4160V dramatically decreases your odds of survival.

What is current coil and voltage coil?

The current coil is one through which the current of source can pass. This coil is connected in series. The voltage coil is connected parallel to the applied voltage. In the current coil the quantity of current flowing is proportional to the current flowing in load while in the voltage coil, current flowing is proportional to applied supply voltage. The voltage coil current is independent of current flow in load. For a complete understanding, please refer to a watt meter diagram.


Which is the dangerous current?

You can't really separate them. It's the current flowing through your body that does the damage, but the value of the current depends on the voltage across your body -the higher the voltage, the higher the resulting current.


What is the voltage drop across a resistor of 300 kilo ohm?

What is the amount of current flowing through the resistor? Voltage drop is dependent on the current. Ohm x Amps = Voltage drop


Do you need to apply a load to see a voltage drop across a resistor?

You'll see a voltage drop across a resistor if current is flowing through it. It only has to be a part of a complete circuit, i.e. one in which current is flowing.


What is the current drop across the resistor?

The correct question is what is the voltage drop across a resistor or the current flowing through the resistor using Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance


When does the current flowing through two different arms in a circuit carry same current?

With the same voltage and resistance the current will be the same value.
