I must tell you that I've been building, troubleshooting, and studying electronics
(in that order) for more than a half century, and this is the first time I have ever
encountered the concept of a "diagonal resistor". I really should let this question
pass, because I really have no idea what it means. But I'm somehow drawn to it.
At the frequencies of devices that even use discrete resistors any more, the
physical position and orientation of the resistors has no effect on their electrical
characteristics or performance in the circuit. If the position mattered, then there
would be a big red "THIS END UP" arrow on every transistor radio and boombox.
And if, by chance, you're referring to the presentation of resistors on electrical
schematic diagrams, please relax. The arrangement of the components and their
symbols on the schematic is completely a matter of making a clear drawing, and
has absolutely no relationship to their physical arrangement in the circuit when it's
constructed.
At least not until you get into microwave devices, and at that point, trust me, you
and I would not even recognize a resistor in the circuit if we were looking at one.
What else can I help you with?
Does an electric circuit have a beaker?
No, an electric circuit does not have a beaker. A beaker is a container used for holding liquids, whereas an electric circuit consists of components like wires, batteries, resistors, and switches that allow electricity to flow in a specific path.
Do Resistors have no polarity restrictions?
Resistors do not have polarity restrictions because they are passive devices that limit the flow of electric current. You can connect them in any orientation within an electric circuit without affecting their function.
How do the components in electric circuits affect the electric current?
Components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors can affect electric current by either impeding the flow (resistors), storing charge (capacitors), or inducing voltage (inductors). These components change the overall characteristics of the circuit, affecting the amount of current that flows through it.
Is a circuit the pathway taken by electric current?
Yes the circuit needs to have no breaks or have the switch open to let the electrons pass through.
What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
The continuous loop that an electric current flows through is called a circuit. It typically consists of a power source (such as a battery), conductive wires, and components like resistors, switches, and light bulbs. When the circuit is complete, electrons can flow continuously through the loop, allowing electrical energy to be transferred and used.
Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?
we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity
How is a circuit constructed with five resistors and a battery as shown?
A circuit with five resistors and a battery is constructed by connecting the resistors in series or parallel to create a closed loop for the flow of electric current from the battery through the resistors. The battery provides the energy for the current to flow through the resistors, which resist the flow of current. The arrangement of the resistors and the battery determines the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit.
How do resistors reduce voltage in an electrical circuit?
Resistors reduce voltage in an electrical circuit by impeding the flow of electric current, which causes a drop in voltage across the resistor. This drop in voltage is proportional to the amount of resistance in the circuit.
How do resistors work to limit the flow of electric current in a circuit?
Resistors work by impeding the flow of electric current in a circuit. They do this by resisting the flow of electrons, which reduces the amount of current that can pass through them. This restriction helps to control the amount of current in the circuit, which can be important for protecting components or controlling the overall function of the circuit.
Why does a circuit warm up when it has electric current flowing in it?
Resistors dissipate energy in the form of heat.
Can you use a battery to make electricity?
make a electric circuit,by using resistors,cll then electricity is produced.
How do resistors work in a circuit to regulate the flow of electric current?
Resistors work in a circuit by impeding the flow of electric current, which helps regulate the amount of current that passes through the circuit. They do this by converting electrical energy into heat energy as the current passes through them, which reduces the overall flow of current in the circuit. This helps control the voltage and current levels in the circuit, allowing for proper functioning of electronic devices.
How do resistors work in an electrical circuit?
Resistors work in an electrical circuit by limiting the flow of electric current. They are designed to resist the flow of electricity, which helps control the amount of current passing through a circuit. This resistance is measured in ohms and can be adjusted by changing the value of the resistor.
Anything that slows down the flow of electric charge?
Any material that resists the flow of electric charge is considered a resistor. Resistors are used to control the amount of current flowing in a circuit, and they can be found in various electronic components. In simple terms, resistors slow down the flow of electric charge, helping regulate the flow of electricity in a circuit.
How do resistors lower voltage in an electrical circuit?
Resistors lower voltage in an electrical circuit by impeding the flow of electric current, which causes a drop in voltage across the resistor. This drop in voltage helps regulate the overall voltage in the circuit and control the amount of current flowing through it.
Does an electric circuit have a beaker?
No, an electric circuit does not have a beaker. A beaker is a container used for holding liquids, whereas an electric circuit consists of components like wires, batteries, resistors, and switches that allow electricity to flow in a specific path.
What does a circuit board do?
A circuit board is the pathway for electrical currents to path through to send messages to other connectors. A circuit board consists of capacitors and resistors which allow and resist electric signals.
