What do you mesure the answer of Ohm's law in?
Ohm's law can be used to find the current, voltage or resistance in a electrical circuit. The formula is V=IR where 'V' is the Voltage measured in Volts (V), 'I' is the current measured in Amperes (A) And 'R' is the resistance, measured in Ohms (Ω)
What are Ohms Law and the Power Law?
Ohms Law is used for the measurement of resistance. You can find the resistance in a series circuit using this equation; amps=volts/resistance or volts=amps x resistance.The Power Law is used to find the wattage in the circuit. You can find the amount of watts using this equation: watts=volts x amps.CommentOhm's Law has nothing whatsoever to do with either resistance or power.The equation, R = E/I, is derived from the definition of the ohm, and not from Ohm's Law.Ohm's Law simply describes a linear relationship between the potential difference across a conductor and the current through it. It does NOT describe the relationship between potential difference, current, and resistance.
What is common to both thevenin and norton theorem?
To solve any D.C. circuit by using Thevenin Theorem,First of all load resistance RL is disconnected from the circuit and open circuit voltage across the circuit is calculated (known as Thevenin equivalent voltage)Secondly, the battery is removed by leaving behind its internal resistance. Now we calculate equivqlent resistance of the circuit ( called Thevenin equivalent resistance).Now we connect Thevenin Voltage in series with Equivalent resistance of the circuit and now connect load resistance across this circuit to calculate current flowing through the load resistance.Whereas in the case of using Norton theorem, we again remove the load resistance if any, and then short circuit these open terminals and calculate short circuit current Isc.Second step is same as in Thevenin theorem i.e. remove all sources of emf by replacing their internal resistances and calculate equivqalent resistance of the circuit.Lastly, join short circuit current source in parallel with equivalent resistance of the circuit. Now, we can calculate votage across the resistance which was connected in parallel with Isc.So, by knowing the open circuit voltage, we can calculate current flowing the resistance and on the other hand , by knowing the short curcuit current , we can calculate voltage across the resistance.
What is the wheat stone bridge principle?
It is an circuit that is used to find the value of the resistances. The main principle behind it is the balancing an circuit by means of varying an resistance on connected to an arm of the circuit.When the resistance become equal to the variable resistance no current flows thus we can find the value of the resistance.
When a 12v battery is connected across an unknown resistor 2.5mA current flows in the circuit find the resistance of the resistor?
Using ohm's law v=IR but we need to find the Resistance so, in place of v write r R=V/I
What is the formula to find out the total resistace of the series parellel circuit?
i think first one should find out the series resistance that is R1+R2+R3 and after that parellel resistance that is 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 and after that add the series resistance and parellel resistance to get the total resistance
How do you find out the resistance on a circuit?
E = I* R is Ohm's Law. Where: E = voltage I = current R = resistance Using simple algebra yields: R = E / I
How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?
If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).
How do you find resistance in a circuit?
That entirely depends on whether the resistances are in series or in parallel with each other. Ohm's law states that I=V/R. i.e. current = voltage/resistance. If you know the current and voltage you can find the resistance. You can use algebra to rearrange the formula for R and get that R= V/I. Resistance = voltage/current.
How many test leads are needed to find resistance?
The test equipment needs two test leads to find the resistance in a circuit.
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.
How Using Ohms law do you find the amount of current that would flow in a circuit that contains a 10 v source and a 4K resister?
Voltage = Current * Resistance Current = Voltage / Resistance 2.5ma = 10v / 4K
What The equivalent resistance across a and b is equal to?
r/4If the two resistors are in parallel the find total resistance using this formula (1/R1 + 1/R2) = 1/R total

What is the Formula for series and parallel?
you need to be more specific but my guess is your referring to ohm's law the basic formula is Voltage(V)=current (intensity (A)) multiplied by resistance (Ohms). the formula can be reversed to calculate intensity using voltage divided by resistance or to calculate resistance using voltage divided intensity. an easy way to remember this formula is to make a triangle like this and cover the value you want to find the two bottom ones multiply and the top one gets divided. / \/ V \--------/ I : R \-------------
