by using ohms law
if you want to find the current (in amperes) through the resistor then connect a ammeter in series with the resistor.
What is the current running through resistor four?1 amps..!What is the current running through resistor one? 3 amps...!What is the current running through resistor three? 2amps..!What is the current running through resistor five? 3 amps..!What is the voltage drop running through resistor five? 45 volts...!What is the equivalent resistance through the parallel portion of the circuit? 6 ohmsAnswerA resistor is a conductor, albeit one with a higher resistance than a length of wire, so current passes through it without any problem. The magnitude of the current will, of course, be somewhat lower because of the additional resistance.
If they're in parallel, then each resistor acts as if it were the only one,and the presence of any others is irrelevant.The current through the 60-ohm resistor is I = E/R = (120/60) = 2 amperes.
Three
Resistors do that when there's a current running through them.
The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).
If the 3-ohm resistor is the ONLY thing in the circuit, then the current flowing through it is (12 volts)/(3 ohms) = 4 amperes. If there are other things in the circuit besides the resistor, then the current depends on all of them.
If there's nothing else between the ends of the resistor and the power supply, then the voltage across the resistor is 24 volts, and the current through it is 2 amperes.
I = E / RIf the voltage across the resistor is 90 volts, and the resistance of the resistoris 9 ohms, then the current through the resistor is90/9 = 10 Amperes.Don't try this at home!The power dissipated by the resistor is E2/R = (90)2/9 = 900 watts. That's comparable to the power (heat) dissipated by a small toaster. A common composition resistor will get hot and possibly explode if it's asked to dissipate that kind of power.
The current depends on the total effecvtive resistance of everything connectedacross the battery.If the resistor is the only component there, then the current is E/R = 12/3 = 4 amperes.
One milliwatt. Voltage is amperes times resistance, and watts is voltage times current.
