A variety of techniques can be used. Node-Voltage and Mesh-current (or Loop-current) methods, for example. See related link for examples. If there is a single voltage source in the model, then find the current supplied, and Resistance = Voltage/Current. {R = V/I}

You could simulate/ model the circuit on a computer then apply the power profile and a current value will be calculated. Or if you have the circuit working, Place an amp meter into the circuit and measure the current. V/i = resistance.

How do you calculate the joint resistance in a series circuit with three resistances?

The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.


Why isn't resistance constant?

If measuring resistance of materials or resistors by themselves(not soldered into a circuit board) resistance is constant. If measuring resistance of a circuit then it could fluctuate with the components functioning in the circuit.


What is common to both thevenin and norton theorem?

To solve any D.C. circuit by using Thevenin Theorem,First of all load resistance RL is disconnected from the circuit and open circuit voltage across the circuit is calculated (known as Thevenin equivalent voltage)Secondly, the battery is removed by leaving behind its internal resistance. Now we calculate equivqlent resistance of the circuit ( called Thevenin equivalent resistance).Now we connect Thevenin Voltage in series with Equivalent resistance of the circuit and now connect load resistance across this circuit to calculate current flowing through the load resistance.Whereas in the case of using Norton theorem, we again remove the load resistance if any, and then short circuit these open terminals and calculate short circuit current Isc.Second step is same as in Thevenin theorem i.e. remove all sources of emf by replacing their internal resistances and calculate equivqalent resistance of the circuit.Lastly, join short circuit current source in parallel with equivalent resistance of the circuit. Now, we can calculate votage across the resistance which was connected in parallel with Isc.So, by knowing the open circuit voltage, we can calculate current flowing the resistance and on the other hand , by knowing the short curcuit current , we can calculate voltage across the resistance.


An open circuit has an infinate resistance?

There is no such a thing as infinite resistance but it could be a very high resistance.


How do you calculate the voltage in a circuit with a resistance of 20hms and a currents of 6?

Use Ohm's Law. In this case, multiply the resistance by the current.


When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit what happens to the total resistance of the circuit?

"http://www.tpub.com/neets/book1/chapter3/1-26.htm" This site explains how to calculate the resistance, but it decreases the resistance when you add more.


State 3 functions of wheatstone bridge?

Wheatstone bridge is used to calculate the resistance of unknown resistor in the circuit.


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 would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?

a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()


How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?

If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).


Diode reverse breakdown14v current of 70mA and an un-stabilised supply voltage of 28v calculate resistance?

If a circuit element has a voltage of 14V and a current of 70mA, then the resistance of the circuit element is 200 ohms. This is ohm's law. The resistance or type of the power supply is meaningless.


What is the resistance if the current is 0?

If you measure zero current, then there are two possibilities,and there's no way you can tell which one is true withoutanother measurement.-- The voltage across the circuit may be zero,and the resistance could be anything.-- The resistance of the circuit may be infinite,and the voltage could be anything.
