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 causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What are two common ways to wire and electric circuit?
Resistors can, in fact, be connected in four different ways. These configurations are termed:seriesparallelseries-parallelcomplex
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.
Is an electric circuit an electric charge in motion?
yes
What does the work in an electric circuit?
The load that is connected in a circuit is what does the work in the circuit.
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
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.
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.
What do circuit boards 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.
How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
Why do you use resistor in electronics?
we use resistors to offer opposition to the flow of electric current. Resistors absorbs power from the circuit and convert it into heat that is why they are normally rated for the maximum amount of power that they can salfely handle
How will amps and current differ in a series if you get resistors with different resistance?
-- "Amps" and "current" are the same thing. Electric current is measured in units of Amperes. -- The current is always the same at every point in a series circuit, no matter how many resistors of the same or different values are in the circuit.
Why resistors are connecting?
resistors are used to resist the flow of current in a circuit.......
What type of circuit is it when capacitors are combined with resistors?
RC Circuit
What is a current circuit?
A current circuit refers to a closed path through which electric current flows. It is formed by connecting various electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, with conducting wires. The current circuit allows the flow of electric charges, usually in the form of electrons, from the power source to the load.
What is the meaning of resistor?
Resistors are one of the three basic electronic components. They restrict the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Fixed resistors have a fixed value of resistance, and are used in almost every electronic circuit for lots of different reasons.
