A 120 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source what is the current running through the 40ohm resitor?

The current through the 40-ohm resistor is ( E / R ) = (120 / 40) = 3 amperes.
The current through the 40-ohm resistor doesn't depend on the 120-ohm resistor. It's the same
whether the 120-ohm is there or not. It would also be the same if there were any other resistor,
with any other resistance, connected in place of the 120-ohm resistor. It would also be the same
if there were 3,000 more resistors in parallel, with all different values of resistance (as long as
the whole conglomeration didn't exceed the capabilities of the power source).

How designing stabilizing resistor in restricted earth fault relay?
To determine the value of Stabilizing resistor Rs = Vs/Is = If(Rct +2Rl)/Is Where, Rs = resistance value of the stabilizing resistor Vs = voltage at which the relay will operate Is = current flowing through the stabilizing resitor and the relay If = maximum secondary fault current magnitude Rct = internal resistance of the current transformer Rl = resistance of attached wire leads
How do you place 3 resistance to get the total resistance of 1 ohm?
It depends on the resistance of each resistor. If each resistor, for example, is 0.333 ohm, then you could connect them in series. If each resistor, for example, is 3 ohms, then you could connect them in parallel.
What resistor can you use to replace a 47 kilo-ohm resitor?
You should use the same size resistor; a 47 kilo-ohm.CommentThe correct spelling is 'kilohm'.
A current of 6A flows through a resitor with a difference of 2V?
R = E/IThe resitance of the resitor is (2/6) = 1/3rd ohm.
2004 trailblazer blower motor resistor location?
i had a 03 Chevrolet Colorado, and the resitor was located under the glove compartment, where the motor blower is, the resistor is screwed to the side of the blower. hope this works for you. the resistor is usually located there.
Explain step by step how to put in the blower resitor?
Remove the electrical connector from the old resistor. Remove the screws holding the resistor in place. Remove the old resistor. Put in the new one and screw in the screws. Attach the electrical connector.
How capacitor and resitor in a circuit effect the phase of input voltage?
A capacitor and a resistor has no effect on the supply voltage; however, this particular load combination will cause the load current to lead the supply voltage by some angle termed the 'phase angle'.
How can you use Ohm's Law to help you find out why a toaster stoped functioning?
You can use ohm's law, which says I=E/R. You should find how many volts that the power supply is, then find out the current flow through the wires. if the current flow is not what it should be, then your resistor is not working properly. Therefore the resitor would be the problem.
What happens when you connect 230V ac supply directly to a diode with the help of resistor of the order kilo ohms?
When you connect 230V ac supply directly to a diode with the help of resistor of the order kilo ohms, the diode will conduct on alternate half cycles. Forward bias current will be 230ma for 1KOhm, or 23ma for 10KOhm. Power across the resitor will be 25W for 1KOhm, or 2.5W for 10KOhm. Bottom line - the resistor will get very hot - and if not rated correctly, will be destroyed.

Where is the blower motor resistor on a right hand drive jeep Cherokee 2002?
On my 1997 RHD Cherokee, the restistor is under the dash on the left hand side. I had to remove a protective panel to access the resistor. My resitor is held in place by two screws and has a four wire connector. Good luck!
How do you change blower resistor on BMW 523i 1997?
the blower resitor is located behind the dashboard, to access it remove the plastic trim panel under the glovebox, one shoudl see the connector and back of the resistor when looking up and left, just push the tab aside and remove the resistor, the job is very easy and a experienced tech can do the job in about 5mins. good luck.
