If you have three 100 ohm resistors, and you want an equivalent resistor of 66.7 ohms, put two resistors in series, and then parallel the third resistor across the first two. Resistors in series: R1 + R2 Resistors in parallel: R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2) This example: Two 100 ohm resistors in series: 100 + 100 = 200

A 100 ohm resistor in parallel with a 200 ohm resistor: 100 * 200 / (100 + 200) = 66.7

Why can a semiconductor measure temperature?

Semiconductor resistance depends on temperature. So, you can use a shunt resistor to measure semiconductor voltage with a given current and, then, obtain temperature.


If you want to measure a current greater than the full scale deflection of the constructed ammeter in this case should the resistance in parallel with the galvanometer be increased or decreased?

A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.


Why resistance use in silicon diode characteristics?

Resistance is used in characterizing silicon diodes, or any component for that matter, because the equivalent resistance in a certain condition tells you what the circuit will do in that condition. It is true that a diode is not a resistor, but it has an equivalent resistance at each point on it operating curve. Let take three points, for example... With one ampere of current, the forward voltage might be 0.68 volts. That corresponds, using Ohm's law, to a resistance of 0.68 ohms. With ten amperes of current, the forward voltage might be 1.15 volts. That corresponds to a resistance of 0.115 ohms. With 25 amperes of current, the forward voltage might be 1.7 voltage. That corresponds to a resistance of 0.068 ohms. You can obtain the forward resistance curve from the manufacturer's data sheet. Even if there is only a voltage versus current curve, you can calculate resistance using Ohm's law. You need to know the resistance curve in order to design the circuit that uses the diode. In high performance situations, such as in large power supplies, the resistance of the diode may well be critical, and would therefore be a factor in selecting which diode amongst several choices to choose.

What is the use of resistance?

In electronic circuits, resistance is used to empede the flow of current. You may want a specific voltage at a given location, so by using resistors, you can obtain that voltage. You may want to limit current, which a resistor can do for you. But resistance is inherent in everything. Copper wire has resistance, your toaster is really nothing more than a resistor. Resistance is generally considered the load in electrical systems. If it were not for resistance, everything would be considered a short circuit. So you see resistance, although many times not desired, is required.

What is a resistors in circuit?

Resistors can be used to obtain desired voltages in other parts of the circuit. Or they can be used in conjunction with inductors and capacitors to affect a desired dissipation time (of voltage or current). A resistor may be made out of carbon or some other semiconducting material, or sometimes very long strands of conductor (silver for example) can be wrapped up to get very precise and consistent resistance values.

How do you compute the watt of heater with volt and resistance are the given?

You must first solve for current or amperage, if you know only voltage and resistance. The symbol for current is normally "I" or "A". The formula is A=V / R . So divide the voltage by the resistance to obtain the current. Then the formula for wattage or power (P) is P= V x A . So then you would multiply the voltage by the current to obtain the power in watts.

Are there any videos where metre bridge, commutator and Peltier's effect are explained together?

(a) The connection between the resistors in a meter bridge is made of thick copper strips because the resistivity of a copper wire is very low. As, the connections are thick, so the area becomes large and the resistance of the wires becomes almost negligible. (b) It is preferred to obtain the balance point in the middle of the meter bridge wire because it improves the sensitivity of the meter bridge. (c) Constant is used for meter bridge wire because its temperature coefficient of resistance is almost negligible due to which the resistance of the wire does not get affected on increasing temperature of the wire during flow of current.
