Why is resistance less when resistors are join in parallel?
What do you mean? In a parallel circuit, the combined (or effective) resistance is less than any individual resistance.
What is a resistance network?
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.
Why shunt resistance is connected in the parallel?
Shunt means parallel only..................
Does the highest or lowest resistance dominate a parallel circuit?
The total effecive resistance of several individual resistances in parallel is less than the smallest individual resistance, so in that sense I guess you'd have to say that the lowest resistance 'dominates' the character of the whole parallel circuit.
What are the characteristics of series connections?
Characteristics of parallel connection.
What happens to amperage in series and parallel circuits?
In series, Amperage remains constant. In parallel, Amperages are added.
When add resistance to an electrical parallel circuit the amperage will?
The new resistance will draw an additional branch current, resulting in an increase in the supply current. Another way of looking at it is, when you add additional resistance, the overall resistance will reduce, increasing the value of the supply current.
How is resistivity connected to resistance?
Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.
In parallel circuit whathappens to the total resistance if one branch opens-Provide an example?
In a parallel circuit, each load added subtracts from total resistance. When one or more loads is removed from a parallel circuit, the total resistance is increased, reducing the total amperage draw. The less resistance a load has, the more current can pass through. This is part of Ohm's law. The mathematical equation that describes Ohm's law is: I=V/R , where I is the current in amperes, V is the potential difference in volts,and R is a circuit parameter called the resistance For example : The humble light-bulb is rated by the watts it uses. The amount of watts used by a light-bulb is calculated using Ohm's law. With the resistance of the bulb's filament and the voltage the bulb is designed to operate with, one can derive the amperage the bulb will draw. The amperage is then multiplied by the voltage to show wattage. Using Ohm's law : With the resistance of a 40watt 120volt light-bulb, only 0.33amps is able to pass through the bulb's 363ohm filament at 120volts. A lamp that has two 40watt bulbs inplace, and the two bulbs are in parallel, the circuit will have a resistance of 179ohms and draw 0.67amps which is 80watts at 120volts.
What is the ratio of equivalent resistance of series and parallel combination of n equal resistance to the equivalent resistance on parallel combination?
1
Does battery amperage doubles when in a parallel?
Yes, and when in series the voltage doubles.
Does amperage increase as the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increase?
Yes.
Why is resistance less when resistors are join in parallel?
What do you mean? In a parallel circuit, the combined (or effective) resistance is less than any individual resistance.
A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?
The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.
What is a parallel universe what is a parallel universe?
Total equivalent resistance = reciprocal of (sum of reciprocals of each individual resistance)
Is the sum of the resistance in a parallel circuit always excessds the total resistance in a circuit?
Not sure what you mean. The equivalent (total) resistance in a parallel circuit is less than any individual resistance.
What is a resistance network?
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.
