In an automotive electrical series circuit what will be the effect of adding additional resistance?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Everything in the series circuit will run dimmer / slower / cooler.
Since the available voltage is constant (13.6 volts from the battery), increasing the resistance
in the circuit causes the current through each device to decrease.

What are applications of OHM METER?
It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.
Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
Why a wheatstone circuit is called a bridge?
An electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance is called a Wheatstone bridge. It is called a bridge because it balances two legs of a bridge circuit.
Does an open circuit have a break that interrupts the flow of electrical charges?
Of course it has a break . open circuit means infinite resistance , so no electrical charge can flow through it .
What instrument measures electrical earth resistance?
A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.
When add resistance to an electrical parallel circuit the amperage will?
The new resistance will draw an additional branch current, resulting in an increase in the supply current. Another way of looking at it is, when you add additional resistance, the overall resistance will reduce, increasing the value of the supply current.
The number of ohms in a circuit is a measure of the?
The electrical resistance of the circuit
If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?
If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
When they can use a resistor in a circuit?
When the circuit needs the electrical property of resistance, of course.
What components are placed in an electrical circuit to control the amount of resistance in circuit?
resistors, variable potentiometers
What is resistance do in a circuit?
lowers the amt of electrical current flowing through it.
In automotive electrical circuits current is considered to flow from where to where?
In an automotive electrical circuit, current is considered to flow from negative to positive in that circuit. Electrons leave the negative terminal of the battery, flow through any complete circuits, and return to the positive terminal of the battery.
What is it called if electrons encounter difficulty as they move through a circuit?
Resistance, or electrical resistance. The SI unit is the ohm.
As the total resistance is reduced in a simple electrical circuit the current flow will?
increase
What does R stand for in electricity?
Resistance in an electrical circuit or device measured in ohms.
What are applications of OHM METER?
It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.
