No, it is the current (amperes) that vary according to the resistance.

Does the voltage that runs through different appliances vary according to the resistance of appliances?

Voltage does not 'run through' anything! Voltage is another word for potential difference which exists across a circuit's load. You can think of voltage as being equivalent to 'pressure' -pressure does not 'run through' anything, either, it is applied 'across' two points in a hydraulic or pneumatic system.So, if the appliances are connected in parallel (usually the case), then the potential difference across each appliance will be the same.


Does the voltage that runs through different appliances vary according to the resistances of the appliances?

Technically speaking, voltage does not run through anything, current does. Voltage is the difference in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points. A voltage applied to a load (e.g. appliance) in a closed circuit will cause current to flow and make the load "work". If you apply a different voltage to something other than what it was designed to run on, it will most often not work or burn up. The amount of current that will flow through a device operating from a fixed voltage (like that coming out of the wall in your house) is directly proportional to the resistance. Lower resistance = higher current.


Which appliances heat up when electicity runs through them?

Appliances such as toaster ovens, electric stoves, electric heaters, and hair dryers heat up when electricity runs through them due to the resistance in their heating elements. This resistance causes the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy, which is then used for cooking, heating, or drying purposes.


Why does the same voltage run through all the branches of a parallel circuit irrelevant of the different resistance appliances on those branches?

The same voltage is present but does not run. It is the current that could be described as "runniing" through the different branches. Just by definition, parallel circuits necessarily have the same voltage. It is architecture of the circuit.


What are examples of good conductors(appliances)?

Examples of good conductors in appliances include copper and aluminum. These materials have low electrical resistance, allowing for efficient flow of electricity through the appliance. This helps in reducing heat generation and energy loss during operation.


How do appliances produce heat and how?

Appliances produce heat by converting electrical energy into thermal energy through resistive heating elements, such as coils or ceramic plates. When electricity flows through these elements, resistance generates heat as a byproduct. This heat is then used to cook food, heat water, or warm the appliance itself.


What is resistance heater?

A resistance heater is a type of heating device that generates heat through the process of electrical resistance. When an electric current passes through a resistive material, it encounters resistance, which converts electrical energy into thermal energy. These heaters are commonly used in various applications, including industrial processes, space heating, and household appliances like toasters and electric stoves. They are known for their efficiency and simplicity in design.


What are those different power ratings for the same resistance?

The amount of current that will pass through a resistance is dependant upon the voltage applied across the resistance. Voltage devided by resistance equals current. This is Ohm's Law.


What type of circuit is Current flow through each load will be different if the load resistance are different?

You are correct. What exactly is your question?


What causes heat to be produced in appliances such as lights toasters and ovens?

Heat is a form of energy and in appliances like toasters energy is transmitted into the metal of the toaster causing the heat. Resistance to the flow of the electricity through the coils of wire in the toaster create heat. ---/////--- more coils equals more heat. ---/////////////---.


Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?

How does the type of the material affect resistance?

The type of material affects resistance because different materials have different inherent properties that determine how easily electrons can flow through them. In general, materials with higher resistivity will have higher resistance, while materials with lower resistivity will have lower resistance. Additionally, factors such as temperature and impurities in the material can also influence its resistance.
