How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?

The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.


What is a non-conductive resistor?

non-conductive resistors are resistors made from materials which do not allow the passage or flow of electric current through them.

Which materials are used in the manufacturing of standard resistors and heating materials?

Standard resistors are typically made of ceramic or metal film materials such as carbon film or metal oxide. Heating materials can be made from various materials like nichrome (nickel-chromium alloy), Kanthal (iron-chromium-aluminum alloy), or tungsten, which offer high resistance and heat tolerance.


What is the equivalent resistance when resistors are in a cube?

The equivalent resistance, from corner to corner, of 12 resistors connected in a cube is 5/6 that of a single resistor.Proof:Start from one corner and flow current through to the opposite corner. You have three resistors. Each of those three resistors is connected to two resistors, in a crisscross pattern. Those six resistors are then connected to three resistors which are connected to the other corner. By symmetry, the voltages at the upper junctions are the same, and then same can be said for the lower junction. You can then simplify the circuit by shorting out the upper junctions and (separately) the lower junctions. This means the circuit is equivalent to three resistors in parallel, in series with six resistors in parallel, in series with three resistors in parallel. This is 1/3 R plus 1/6 R plus 1/3 R, or 5/6 R.

How are parallel resistors connected?

If you need a resistor of a certain value, and you have no resistors with small enough values,you can create the one you need by connecting several of those you have in parallel.The effective net resistance of resistors in parallel is always less than the smallest individual.And the more resistors you add in parallel, the smaller the net effective resistance becomes.


Why do some resistors so much larger than other?

Resistors vary in size primarily due to their power ratings and intended applications. Larger resistors can dissipate more heat without overheating, making them suitable for high-power applications. Additionally, size can also be influenced by construction materials and design; for example, wire-wound resistors tend to be larger than film resistors due to their manufacturing processes. Ultimately, the size of a resistor is determined by the balance between its electrical characteristics and thermal management needs.
