When you short out a resistor in a parallel circuit why does the current lower?

The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.

What to expect if a resistor is placed in a dc circuit with a capacitor?

when we replace the resistor with a capacitor ,the current will flow until the capacitor charge when capacitor will fully charged there is no current through the circuit because now capacitor will act like an open circuit. for more info plz E-mailt me at "zaib.zafar@yahoo.com"
