Ohm's Law is Voltage = Current x Resistance. Therefore, if you know the Current and Voltage in a circuit the Resistance = Voltage divided by Current.

How do you test a ballast resister on a 72 Mercedes?

Put an ohm meter accross it and read the resistance, or turn on the ign for about a minuet and feel the resister, but be careful they can get quite hot though if their working.


What is a 1.5 omega resister?

The capital Greek letter Ω (omega) is the symbol for Ohms - the unit of resistance. A 1.5Ω resister is a resistor with quite a low resistance. If a voltage of 1.5 Volts is applied across it, a current of 1 Amp[ere]s will flow through it.


What is the conductance of a 4.7 Ohm resister?

Conductance is reciprocal of resistance. Hence, G=1/R. Calculate now


Why resistance in series won't control speed in dc shunt motors?

because current is same in series resister


Why remove resister from circuit to measure resistance?

a meter uses its own supply to measure resistance. you dont have to remove the resistor from the circuit but you must isolate it from the circuit supply to get an accurate reading.


When and who invented the resister?

It was probably Ohms who came with the phenomenon of resistivity and hence the term resistance. Resistance of any metal is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional the the cross-sectional area of the conductor. The unit of resistance is Ohm's.


When two resister of 1000 ohms are connected in parallel their effective resistance will be?

500 ohms. RP = 1 / summation (1 / RI)


Can a resistance be used in the circuit instead of diode?

No. A resister is not a replacement component for a diode. A resister is passive and allows current to flow through in in both directions. A diode is a single semiconductor junction that only allow current to flow in one direction.
