It creates an extra load to the circuit if placed parallel to other circuits. this load approaches the equivalent of a short circuit as the resistance value placed there reduces.

∙ 13y agoif the resistance is low enough it is a short circuit.
so if its a high impedance circuit the answer is yes
if not the answer is probably yes

What is effect of an unbypassed resistor on the common emitter amplifier circuit?
An emitter resistor in a common emitter circuit will cause the stage to experience the effects of degenerative feedback if it is unbypassed. The degenerative feedback reduces gain. This is probably the primary effect in the described circuit.
What ll be effect if resistor in snubbing circuit is opened?
The resistor in the snubbing circuit is there to minimize the reverse EMF spike that occurs when a DC inductive load, such as a relay coil or other electromagnet is released. Opening the snubbing circuit will expose the driving circuit to high voltage transients that can damage it.
What is the difference between a normal resistor and a bleeder resistor?
A resistor is a resistor. Plain and simple. By Ohm's Law, resistance in ohms is voltage in volts divided by current in amperes. The difference lies in application, not in the resistor itself. A normal resistor will introduce a voltage drop or current that makes some effect in the circuit, based on some design criteria. A bleeder resistor, on the other hand does not really affect the circuit - it is only there to "bleed off", or discharge, capacitors when the power is turned off. Consequently, a bleeder resistor will typically have a higher resistance than a normal resistor but, again, the issue is circuit design, not the resistor itself.
What will be the effect if the d.c motor is directly connected across the supply without starter?
At zero rpm a dc motor draws a current that could be enough to blow the circuit breaker. In that case it is normal to place a resistor in series to limit the current to slightly below the circuit-breaker setting. The resistor is switched out after the motor runs up.
How does a resistor in a circuit effect similar to open circuit?
Resistors resist amounts of the electricity flowing through the circuit.For example if the resister has these strips of colors on it in this order(red,green,blue) then the resister has 25,000,000 ohms. That means that the lamp(s)/ bulb(s) is(are) going to be very going to be very dim. Because, the more ohms the dimmer the light, the less ohms the brighter the light. But we should get back on task. A resistor effects a circuit because it makes the lamp(s)/ bulb(s) brighter of dimmer depending on the amount of ohms they have.
Can inserting a resistor in a circuit produce an effect similar to a open circuit?
Of course it depends entirely on the ohm's resistance of the resistor. The higher the resistance, the lower the comparison to a short circuit.
Can inserting a resistor in a circuit have an effect similar to an open circuit?
If the resistance is large enough, then there might not be enough voltage difference to allow much current. Since, Voltage = Current * Resistance, if resistance goes really large, and your voltage doesn't change, your current must decrease. An open circuit is where you do not have any current flowing, so whether no current verses very little current is the same is up to you.
What effect if any does connecting an ammeter in series with a resistor in a circuit have on the current though the resistor?
That depends on the quality (price) of the meter. Ideally it should have no effect.

What is the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistor in bridge rectifier circuit?
Its no longer a rectifier and the resistors may catch fire.
What is meaning of RLC?
RLC circuit(or LCR circuitorCRL circuitorRCL circuit) is anelectrical circuitconsisting of aresistor, aninductor, and acapacitor, connected in series or in parallel. The RLC part of the name is due to those letters being the usual electrical symbols forresistance,inductanceandcapacitancerespectively. The circuit forms aharmonic oscillatorfor current and willresonatein a similar way as anLC circuitwill. The main difference that the presence of the resistor makes is that any oscillation induced in the circuit will die away over time if it is not kept going by a source. This effect of the resistor is calleddamping. The presence of the resistance also reduces the peak resonant frequency somewhat. Some resistance is unavoidable in real circuits, even if a resistor is not specifically included as a component. A pure LC circuit is an ideal which really only exists in theory
If the resistance in the circuit is increased what will happen to the current and voltage?
* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.
What the role of a resistor in an led circuit?
a resister is to RESIST current flow....if the LED gets the full effect of the power supply, the LED will immediately blow out.
What is the Effect of collector resistance in emitter follower circuit?
Colector resistance in an emitter follower circuit serves to place a limit on how much current can be supplied by the transistor. Often, the resistor is sized so that a short circuit in the load does not cause the transistor to fail.
Is it possible to apply voltmeter across a variable resistor?
Of course. A good voltmeter can be applied across anything, since its impedance is high and its presence has no effect on the operation of the circuit. When it's connected across a variable resistor, the voltmeter most likely reveals a changing voltage as the resistor is varied.
