What else can I help you with?
What happen to the circuit if there is higher resistance?
In what sense.
The number of ohms in a circuit is a measure of the?
resistance to the flow of electrical current in the circuit. It is a measure of how much opposition the circuit presents to the flow of electricity. The higher the number of ohms, the greater the resistance in the circuit.
What happens to amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?
When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.
Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?
The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.
What determines the current in each branch of parallel of circuit?
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.
The value of resistance of an short circuit?
The value of resistance when there is a short circuit varies depending on the nature of the fault, but it could be fractionally above zero or higher.
What causes an increase of resistance in a series circuit?
An increase in resistance in a series circuit can be caused by adding resistors in series, increasing the length or cross-sectional area of the wire, or using a material with higher resistivity. This leads to a higher total resistance in the circuit, which can reduce the current flowing through it.
What determines the current ine each branch of parallel of circuit?
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.
How does a rheostat make a current high?
A rheostat is a variable resistor that can increase or decrease the resistance in a circuit. By increasing the resistance in the circuit, the rheostat limits the flow of current, causing it to become higher in the parts of the circuit where the resistance is lower.
Why does higher resistance have a larger voltage drop across it?
In a d.c. circuit, voltage drop is the product of resistance and current through that resistance.
What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?
If a bulb with higher resistance is used in a simple circuit, the total resistance in the circuit would increase. According to Ohm's Law (V=IR), with an increase in resistance, the current in the circuit would decrease since the voltage supplied remains constant.
What does the resistance of a circuit mean?
Resistance in a circuit is its ohmic value of the circuit. It is comprised of all of the devices and components that make up the circuit. This also includes the wire that carries the voltage to the load of the circuit.
