When "n" number of varying resistances are connected in series
R total = R1+R2+R3+R4+ . . . . . = Req
V total = (V1* I1)+(V2* I1)+(V3* I1)+(V4* I1) { As I1=I2=I3=I4}
V total = V battery
I total = V battery / Req
= I1=I2=I3=I4= . . . . . = Ieq
Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.
The resistors connected in single path are called series resistances or resistances in series.The current across both the resistors is same while the potential differences are different.
-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
"Amp" is not a specification associated with resistors. It could be anything.
if resistors connected in series the resistance will increase.Then it limit the flow of current through it. voltage may be increased. A: by connecting any resistors in series it will limit the current flow it will effect the current but never the voltage applied
If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it. The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor. As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.
4 resistors were connected in parallel it yields 5A of current from 220V supply.
yes ,they can be connected ,then they both will drive the current through that resistance ,the current through that resistance will be the sum of currents due to each individual source taking only one at a time (use superpositon theorem)
Because, in series connection the current is same in all resistors, so the ammeter deflection for finding current is same in each ammeter.
when A resistance is connected across the supply voltage, total input vooltage will be drop in the resistance when the resistances are connected across the supply voltage, total input vooltage will be devidedacross the resistances. IF R value will be high ,drop also high. IF R value wll be low ,voltage drop will be less.
The equivalent resistance, from corner to corner, of 12 resistors connected in a cube is 5/6 that of a single resistor.Proof:Start from one corner and flow current through to the opposite corner. You have three resistors. Each of those three resistors is connected to two resistors, in a crisscross pattern. Those six resistors are then connected to three resistors which are connected to the other corner. By symmetry, the voltages at the upper junctions are the same, and then same can be said for the lower junction. You can then simplify the circuit by shorting out the upper junctions and (separately) the lower junctions. This means the circuit is equivalent to three resistors in parallel, in series with six resistors in parallel, in series with three resistors in parallel. This is 1/3 R plus 1/6 R plus 1/3 R, or 5/6 R.
