What process will double the power dissipated by a resistor?
Increase the voltage across the resistor by 41.4% .
What is the current through the 150 ohm resistor?
It depends on the voltage applied across it. But the maximum current is limited by the power-rating of the resistor (power divided by the square of the voltage).
What happens to the applied voltage when a change in circuit resistance occurs?
When a dc supply is connected to a resistor, current flows. The current in amps is equal to the supply voltage divided by the resistance in ohms. The power used is the voltage times the current, and that appears as heat in the resistor, which might become hot to touch.
What is the voltage drop running through resistor 1 resistor 1 equals 3 ohms?
There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. You need to provide either the voltage across the resistor, or the power dissipated by the resistor. please restate the question.
What is power factor of resistor?
A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.

How do you find power generated in a resistor?
The power generated in a resistor is converted into heat. and that can be power which is converted into heat is the product of the voltage across the resistor and, current passing through the resistor. or the product of square of the current and the resistance offered by the resistor.

Why bleeder resistor is used in filter?
To discharge the voltage when power is off.
What is the power dissipated by a resistor that has 5 amps flowing through it with 120 volts applied?
The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).
What is equivalent wattage when different wattage resistors are connected in parallel?
In order to determine this, it will be necessary to find which resistor 'maxes out' at the lowest voltage. This can be found using the equation Vi=sqrt (Pi*Ri) for each resistor, where Pi is the power rating of resistor i and Ri is the value of resistor i. Once this is found, the power dissipation of each other resistor can be found using the equation Pi=(Vl^2)/Ri, where Vl is the voltage that maxes out the resistor which maxes out at the lowest voltage, and Ri is the resistance of each resistor. The equivalent power rating would then be the sum of the power dissipated across each resistor.

What happens when resistance is varied in a circuit?
A resistor will not change its value, unless the voltage exceeds the designed power capacity of the resistor. As the voltage increases, the current will increase, if the current gets too high it will cause the temperature of the resistor to increase, if the temperature exceeds the power rating of the resistor then the resistance WILL change. If it goes too High in temperature the resistor will open and current will no longer flow. A resistor is used to control current, and indirectly the .voltage depending on the application. Hope This helps. You must use Ohms Law to see the relationship.
What is power and current if resistor is 500 ohm?
The question is incomplete without the voltage across the resistor. For example: if V (Voltage across 500 ohm resistor) = 5 Volts, then, Current, I = 5/500 Ampere = 0.01 A.
If 2 resistors or resistance 10 ohm and 5 ohm resp r connected in parallel which will get more heated?
The 5 Ohm resistor will have more current passing through it than the 10 ohm resistor. Since the resistors are in parallel the Voltage across each resistor is the same. Power or the amount of heat in terms of the question can be derived from Power = Voltage * Current. Ohm's law tells us that the current flowing through a resistor is equal to the Voltage across the resistor divided by the resistance. The formula for power is then the Voltage * Voltage / Resistance. Since V^2 / 10 is smaller than V^2 / 5 we know that the 5 ohm resistor will always have more power dissipated than the 10 ohm resistor.
