What happens to the voltage values of other resistors when a short occurs in one of them?
If a short occurs in a resistor in series with other resistors, the voltage drops across the other resistors will increase. If a short occurs in a resistor in parallel with other resistors, the voltage drops across the other resistors will decrease, to zero.
How are the plus and minus voltage signs determined for resistors?
Resistors have no polarity. The voltage across a resistor is determined by the direction of current flowing through that resistor (and vice versa).
How do you find resistors in parallel?
Measure the voltage appearing across each resistor. If they are identical, and equal to the supply voltage, then the resistors are in parallel.
How would you connect a resistor in order to reduce an LED's applied voltage?
You could use the voltage divider rule to reduce the voltage. Using two resistors in series, the input voltage will drop across each resistor by an amount that is proportionate to the values of the resistors. If the 1st resistor is 10K and the 2nd resistor is 100K, the voltage drop across the 10K will be 10 times LESS than that of the 100K resistor. The total voltage drop across both resistors will be equal to the supplied input voltage. Work out the ratio of voltage you need from the total input voltage and use 2 resistors will that give you the same ratio. Connect the LEDs in parallel with the resistor the gives you the voltage you want. Use a MM to measure the voltage across the resistor before wiring LEDs.
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit. what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and the currents through the resistors?
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
Did the the total voltage across the resistors does not depend on the resistor value?
It depends on where and how the resistor is placed in a circuit. A string of series resistors will split the voltage across all them depending on their values. All of the resistors in parallel will have the same voltage across all of them no matter what their resistance is.
What happens to the voltage values of other resistors when a short occurs in one of them?
If a short occurs in a resistor in series with other resistors, the voltage drops across the other resistors will increase. If a short occurs in a resistor in parallel with other resistors, the voltage drops across the other resistors will decrease, to zero.
Does the resistors current changes if the voltage across a fixed resistors is cut in half?
If the voltage across a resistor or resistors is halved, then the resulting current will also fall by half.
How are the plus and minus voltage signs determined for resistors?
Resistors have no polarity. The voltage across a resistor is determined by the direction of current flowing through that resistor (and vice versa).

Voltage across resistor is doubled the current is?
Ohm's law states that the voltage across a resistor is the product of the current times the Resistance or V=I x R (I times R). V is Voltage, R is Resistance, and I is Current or Amperage. So if the Voltage is doubled and Resistance stays the same, the Current will be doubled.
If as more resistors are connected in series with the first what happens to the potential difference across each resistor?
adding resistors to a string will have the effect of decreasing each resistor voltage drop.

What are the losses in resistors?
The power lost in a resistor is(the current through the resistor) times (the resistance) watts. That's the same thing as(the voltage across the resistor)/(the resistance)watts.
When three resistors are connected in series the amount of voltage that is measured across each one is determine by what?
The voltage drop across each resistor is determined by the amounts of resistance in the 3 resistors and all the rest of the resistances in the electrical circuit.
