Resistance in a circuit is its ohmic value of the circuit. It is comprised of all of the devices and components that make up the circuit. This also includes the wire that carries the voltage to the load of the circuit.

Is the sum of the resistance in a parallel circuit always excessds the total resistance in a circuit?

Not sure what you mean. The equivalent (total) resistance in a parallel circuit is less than any individual resistance.


What happens to resistance when resistors are wired in parallel delta circuit?

What do you mean by a 'parallel delta' circuit -is there such a connection.


What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?

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 ()


Why is resistance less when resistors are join in parallel?

What do you mean? In a parallel circuit, the combined (or effective) resistance is less than any individual resistance.


What is the resistance of the circuit in ohms?

The resistance of the circuit is measured in ohms.


When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit what happens to the total resistance of the circuit?

When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit, the total resistance of the circuit decreases. This is because in a parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. More paths for current to flow mean less overall resistance in the circuit.


Is the increase in voltage causes a greater electric resistance in a circuit?

No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit.


How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?

The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.


What is the resistance of the circuit in units of ohms?

The resistance of the circuit is measured in units of ohms.


What does the ohm symbol mean?

The ohm symbol is used to represent resistance of a component or in a circuit


Why isn't resistance constant?

If measuring resistance of materials or resistors by themselves(not soldered into a circuit board) resistance is constant. If measuring resistance of a circuit then it could fluctuate with the components functioning in the circuit.


What is the difference between on and off state resistance?

On Circuit Resistance = Close to the total load Resistance. Off Circuit Resistance = Near Infinitive High Resistance.
