What are the common defects of a variable resistor?

Normally if a resistor fails they will either increase in value or open up at all (open circuit).


What is Bad resistor?

A bad resistor is a resistor that has failed to perform its intended function, often due to damage, overheating, or manufacturing defects. This can result in incorrect resistance values, leading to circuit malfunctions or failures. Signs of a bad resistor may include physical damage, discoloration, or an open circuit reading when tested with a multimeter. In electronic circuits, bad resistors can disrupt the flow of current and affect the overall performance of the device.

How does a resistor TBA820 work?

The TBA820 is a 2 watt general purpose amplifier integrated circuit, not a resistor.


2 resistors unequal value are in parallel. Would the power dissipated by the resistor with larger ohmic value be greater than the power dissipated by the resistor of lesser value?

No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.


What is 5W15RJ?

it may be a ceramic resistor. If it is a resistor, it'll be about 1 inch in length with 2 contact points. It sounds like a 5-Watt 15-Ohm resistor.


How Determine the power dissipated by the resistor?

Power dissipated by the resistor = I^2 * R or V^2 / R, where R = its resistance value, I = the current in the resistor, and V = the voltage drop across the two terminals of the resistor. You need to measure or find the information of either I (using an ammeter) or V (a voltmeter).


How do you measure current without an amp meter?

Depends on the current. Put a resistor in-line with the current, then measure the voltage across the resistor. V=RI. So, divide the measured voltage by resistor value. Be careful with the size of the resistor, as Power dissipated in a resistor is R*I^2 or V^2/2. So, a 1-Amp current into a 1 Ohm resistor will result in a 1Watt power dissipated in the resistor. If it's too small, it'll burn. Also, notice that if you do that, you haven't measured the current in the original circuit. You've measured the current when an extra resistor is installed in the original circuit, and that's different.

The combined resistance will be 2 Ohms.


What is the approximate increase in size from a one watt to a 2 W carbon resistor?

The increase in size from a 1 watt to a 2 watt carbon resistor typically involves a larger physical dimension, primarily due to the need for better heat dissipation. While the exact increase can vary by manufacturer, it is common for a 2 W resistor to be about 1.5 to 2 times larger in length and diameter compared to a 1 W resistor. This ensures the resistor can handle the increased power without overheating.


If the voltage dropped across a resistor increases by a factor of 10 the power dissipated by the resistor is?

The power dissipated by a resistor is given by the formula ( P = \frac{V^2}{R} ), where ( V ) is the voltage across the resistor and ( R ) is its resistance. If the voltage increases by a factor of 10, the new power can be expressed as ( P' = \frac{(10V)^2}{R} = \frac{100V^2}{R} = 100P ). Therefore, the power dissipated by the resistor increases by a factor of 100.
