Why a circuit will produce a loading effect?
This happens because the total parallel resistance is lower than the individual resistors that make up the group of parallel resistors. When you add another parallel load, the resistance of that parallel group lowers and as result increases the current for the rest of the circuit.
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.
What happens if a dependent current source is short circuited?
Nothing happens.
What happens when resistors are interconnected in a circuit?
The net resistance can be found out using the algebraic sums f series and parallel connections. When there is no current flowing in the circuit the net resistance is infinite.
When resistors are connected in series then what happens to the watt?
Resistors are rated in wattage so the lowest wattage rating will be the wattage of the series circuit. It will be able to handle that power any more and the lowest wattage resistor could be damaged and fail.Another AnswerWhen two or more resistors are connected in series, the resistor with the lowest resistance will operate at the highest power. If the power developed by a resistor exceeds its rated power, then the resistor may burn out.
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 happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
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.
If one of the three lamps blows out when connected in parallel what happens to the current in the other two?
Nothing
What happens to the current in circuit as the resistance increases?
Current decreasesWhen voltage remains constant and resistance increases the current in the circuit will reduce.More informationV=IRwhere V is voltage,I is current andR is resistance.From the above equation,R=V/I, and hence resistance is indirectly proportional to current.Therefore, an increase in resistance would have the effect of decreased current.NB: this holds true only as long as the voltage remains constant.Another opinionHowever, this is only true in the case of a circuit connected in series.When circuits are connected in parallel, the opposite happens. If there is an increase in the amount of resistors in parallel, the total resistance of the circuit then decreases and the current increases subsequently.Yet another viewNo, that's not stated right.If more resistors are added in parallel - so that the circuit's overall total resistance decreases and its total current increases - that is NOT in any way the opposite of what this question is asking about...Let's make this crystal clear, so that there is no confusion: "an increase in the amount of resistors" is NOT the same as "an increase in resistance".So a parallel circuit behaves EXACTLY the same as a series circuit: if its overall resistance increases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit decreases AND if its overall resistance decreases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit increases.Actually, the second opinion is correctIn a parallel circuit, there are more branches to allow electrons back to the power supply, so current increases. With more resistors in a circuit, the overall resistance in a parallel circuit DECREASES.In a series circuit, current is the same throughout. So if more resistors are added, resistance INCREASES and so current DECREASES.
What happens if a dependent current source is short circuited?
Nothing happens.
What happens when an ammeter is connected in parallel with a circuit?
SMOKE!!! Yiii-haaaa! An ammeter is always as low a resistance as possible. That way, the current that you measure in a circuit using the meter will be the same as if the meter were not there. So putting an ammeter in parallel with a circuit means that you just short circuited the circuit you were intending to measure. Poof! There goes your ammeter!An ammeter has a very low internal resistance. So, if it is connected in parallel with a load, it will short-out that load. The resulting high current flowing through the ammeter may severely damage the meter (and possible harm the user), although most are fitted with fuses to protect them.

What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
