To limit the starting current in slip ring induction motors.
A multimeter can be used to measure the resistance of a circuit component by setting it to the resistance measurement mode, connecting the probes to the component, and reading the resistance value displayed on the multimeter screen.
it doesn't, the one with the highest resistance does
Resistance in a series circuit is added by simply connecting resistors end-to-end. This results in the total resistance being the sum of the individual resistances. The current passing through each resistor in a series circuit remains the same.
Any specific device that draws a current which is connected within the circuit is an example of a circuit load. That may be a resistance and a loudspeaker LED computer and induction motor or whatever which can withdraw the energy from the output.
The power source must be disconnected from the circuit under test before connecting an ohm meter to prevent potential damage to the meter or the circuit. This ensures that there are no active voltages present while taking resistance measurements.
Parasitic resistance is resistance that you encounter in a circuit board or integrated circuit but not included in the original design -- an undesirable, unintended consequence of putting a concept into manufacturing. Since parasitic resistance does exist, you need to estimate its value and make sure the design still functions as intended. An example of parasitic resistance is the resistance of the traces in a circuit board or metal interconnects in an IC, the purpose of which is to connect components electrically according to the circuit diagram, but these connecting structures are not ideal. These connecting structures most likely also add parasitic capacitance and inductance to your design and, if substantial, should be included in your design (back-annotation) accordingly.
Mutual (not 'matual') induction occurs when a changing current in one circuit induces a voltage into a second circuit. An example of mutual induction is a transformer.
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
A single phase induction motor is not self starting; thus, it is necessary to provide a starting circuit and associated start windings to give the initial rotation in a single phase induction motor. The normal running windings within such a motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.
By connecting components in series, you are increasing the equivalent resistance (known as thevenin resistance) of the circuit. Power is equivalent to Voltage^2 / Resistance. Therefore, by increase the resistance, you are decreasing the amount of power provided by the source.
The resistance of the circuit is measured in ohms.
