How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?
The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
How do you measur ampere?
You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
How are resistance combined in a series circuit?
Resistances are additive in a series circuit.
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.
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.
1 What is the effect caused by the ammeter resistance when an ammeter is inserted into a circuit to measure the current?
An ammeter has a finite resistance which is inserted in series with the rest of the circuit, increasing the total resistance and decreasing the current. A good ammeter has a very low resistance, so it shouldn't affect the circuit noticeably.
Where is the most resistance lost in a series circuit?
Resistance isn't lost. The largest voltage drop will occur across the largest resistance in a series circuit.
When you measure voltage with a voltmeter you must break open the circuit and connect the meters test leads in series with the other circuit components?
Sounds more like you're trying to measure resistance...
What is a resistance circuit?
It does not contain unidirectional outputAnswerA purely resistive circuit is an 'ideal' circuit that contains resistance, but not inductance or capacitance.
Is resistance in a series circuit equal to the largest resistor in the series?
No. The resistance in a series circuit is all the resistor values added together. eg. If two resistors were in a circuit, one was 10 ohms and the other was 30 ohms, the resistance in the circuit would be 30 ohms. Hope this helps!
How can you make the resistance higher in a circuit?
A: practically any series resistance will do that
