What are advantages of a series combination of resistors?
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
Does power decrease when adding resistors in parallel circuit?
no
Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
What is the resistance between any two of the corners if Three 3 ohm resistors are connected such that it make triangle.?
2 ohms. It is like connecting two 3 ohm resistors in series and then these two series resistors are connected in parallel with third 3 ohm resistor in parallel
Why is resistance more in parallel combination?
Resistors in parallel have a LOWER combined resistance than either alone, not a higher one.
What is the relationship between you and R in networks of parallel resistors in electric circuits?
libolo
How does the effective resistance of four resistors in parallel compared to the individual resistance?
It depends on the values of the individual resistors. But if each resistor is identical, then the total resistance will be one-quarter that of an individual resistor.
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.
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.
When a 30.0-V emf device is placed across two resistors in series a current of 14.0 A is flowing in each of the resistors. When the same emf device is placed across the same two resistors in parallel?
There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. 30 volts generating 14 amperes means the two resistors have a total series resistance of 2.143 ohms. Since no relationship was stated, we don't know the value of the individual resistors. If the two resistors had the same resistance, the net parallel resistance would be 0.536 ohms, and a current of 56 amperes would flow.
What is the formula for finding resistance for a parallel series?
There is no such thing as a "parallel series". The total effective resistance of many resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistances. It's more than the greatest individual. The total effective resistance of many resistors in parallel is the reciprocal of the sum of the individual resistances' reciprocals. It's less than the smallest individual.
What picture represents two resistors wired in parallel?
It represents that two resistors are connected in parallel.
Choose true or falseIf all the resistors in a parallel sub-circuit have the same value the total current can be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors?
False. The total current in a parallel sub-circuit where all resistors have the same value cannot be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors. In a parallel circuit, the total current depends on the individual resistor values and how they affect the overall resistance of the circuit.
How to measure resistance of series combination?
When connected in series, the overall effective resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the individual resistances. It's always more than the resistance of any individual. When connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the overall resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. It's always less than the resistance of any individual. When two resistors are connected in parallel, the overall effective resistance of the pair is (the product of the two individual resistances) divided by (the sum of the two individual resistances). It's always less than the smaller individual resistance.
What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?
-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
Three 8.0-W resistors are connected in series What is their equivalent resistance?
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in series is simply the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the equivalent resistance of three 8.0-W resistors connected in series is 24.0 W.
What are Relationship between the voltage drop across the resistors and the currents through the resistors when resistors are connected in parallel?
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.
