If the current in a certain resistor is 6.2 A and the voltage across the resistor is 110 Vwhat is the resistance of the resistors?

Ohm's Law says Volts = Current x Resistance so R = 110/6.2 = 17.742 Ohms

How sensitive is 22k resistor?
"Sensitivity" is not a word normally applied to resistors. Characteristics of resistors include "resistance", "tolerance", "power rating", and "temperature coefficient". "Inductance" and "capacitance" are also used in describing certain critical performance resistors. A 22 KOhm resistor will require 22 v of voltage to induce a current of 1 ma. This is Ohm's Law: voltage = current times resistance.
Resistors A and B are connected in parallel If resistor B has twice the resistance of A what is the current taken by resistor B?
half of the current flowing thru resistor 1.... V=IR.
What happens to the value of a resistor when it goes bad?
we can say that a resistor gone bad if 1. its resistance is different than that printed by the color code 2. doesn't conduct any current Resistors normally will burn open. Carbon resistors almost always do this, while wireound resistors can lower in resistance. They may still allow current flow, but it will not be correct.
What happen to current when paralle resistor added?
For the individual resistor, the current is constant, regardless of any other resister that's attached to it in parallel. The current that results from all the resistors combined decreases as the resistance of one or more of the resistors increases.
How are parallel resistors connected?
If you need a resistor of a certain value, and you have no resistors with small enough values,you can create the one you need by connecting several of those you have in parallel.The effective net resistance of resistors in parallel is always less than the smallest individual.And the more resistors you add in parallel, the smaller the net effective resistance becomes.
You are just asking that let us assume you have connected 2 or 3 resistors in a circuit and the current flowing through the circuit and from all the resistors will be same but how?
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
What are the losses in resistors?
The power lost in a resistor is(the current through the resistor) times (the resistance) watts. That's the same thing as(the voltage across the resistor)/(the resistance)watts.
Is a calculator a resistor?
No, but it has resistance. Everything has resistance to current flow. It's sole purpose is not to resist current. It likely has resistors in it though.

Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
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.
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
What is the current of a 25volt resistor?
Resistors are rated in ohms for their resistance value and in watts for the power they are capable of handling. They are not rated in volts or current.

What is the main difference in operation between diodes and resistors?
A diode is an electronic component which only allows the current to pass through it in one direction. This is useful in many aplications, such as preventing current to flow in the wrong direction in a circuit. A resistor is also an electronic component, but instead of preventing the current from moving in a certain direction the resistor creates an electrical resistance which will effect the current passing through it. The larger the resistance of the resistor, which is measured in Ohm, the greater the effect it will have on the current.
