Give you the different types of resistors and what effect do they cause on the circuit?

Sure some resistors are wire wound chrome wire and as such will display an inductance characteristics


What are the types of resistors its application and uses?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.


Investigate filter circuit using operational amplifier?

A filter can be designed using an op amp by by replacing the resistors in an inverting or non-inverting amplifier with inductors or capacitors. Search for "op amp" on wikipedia for some simple schematics as a starting place. If you understand the basics of filter output and bode plot calculations, you should be able to replace R1 or R2 with C1 (1/jC1w) or L1 (jwL), and analyze the output vs. input characteristic.Note op amps have limitations on frequency response, so this approach is good for fairly low frequencies - if you get into the high MHz, or GHz, a passive filter circuit becomes necessary.


How many watt values are there for resisters?

Some of the more common values are 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 watts. On PC boards the larger resisters are not placed adjacent to the board but connected into the board above the board using standoffs. This is to let air circulate around the resistor to carry away the heat generated by the resistor. The physical size of the resistor reflects the resistors ability to dissipate the heat which builds up inside the resistor. As the wattage goes up so does the physical size of the resistor. Resistors that dissipate very large amounts of power (watts) are usually wire-wound resistors. Wire-wound resistors can be as high as 100 watts.


Where can someone find a printed circuit board design online?

You can find a printed circuit board design online in some blogs or message boards that are interested in designing circuit boards. You can also find some designs on websites that sell kits and circuit boards.

What working of resistor?

The main power producers in an electrical system are the battery and alternator. The alternator puts 14 volts of alternating current into the electrical system and resistors. The resistors only allow a fraction of the AC voltage produced to reach the systems' sensitive components


What slows down electicity?

Well, I guess you could say that inductance in a circuit does. Resistors don't 'slow it down'. They just dissipate some of the energy of an electric current, but it still gets to where it's going just as soon as if the resistors were not there.


What is the relationship between a circuit and a circuit configuration?

What is the operation in using kelvin bridge?

A Kelvin bridge (as well called a Kelvin double bridge and in some countries a Thomson bridge) is a measuring instrument used to measure unknown electrical resistors below 1 ohm. It is specifically designed to measure resistors that are built as four terminal resistors.


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.


Why does your heater blower motor only work on the two high positions on a 1998 sunfire?

Fan speeds are usually controlled by a series of resistors on a circuit board. When some speeds don't work, it means that you have to replace that little circuit board. FriPilot


Why do you use a variable resistor?

The characteristics of some circuit components cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. Variable resistors are provided in circuits involving these components sometimes to make up for these unavoidable variations.Variable resistors are often used to make it possible for users set suitable volumes in headphones and speakers.Variable resistors may be used to set time constants in circuits that also include capacitive or inductive elements.


How to design a phase shifter circuit using operational amplifier to have a desired phase shift?

There are many phase shift oscillator circuits on the internet. Google search, `phase+shift+oscillator+schematics` and `phase+shift+oscillator+diagrams`. Generally, if you want to change the phase shift characteristics, you'll need to substitute some fixed resistors with variable resistors and depending where they're placed, you can either change the operating frequency or the waveform characteristics.
