What is the resistance of the circuit conductors when the conductor voltage drop is 3 volts and the current flowing through the conductors is 100 amperes?

you have to use Ohm's law here. But first If you are not sure about currents or electricity in general then dont go messing about... 20 thousandths of 1 ampere applied across the heart can be enough to kill a man.
100A will kill you instantly no questions asked!!!!
Be safe.don't touch and if any doubt you must always contact a trained and registered electrician or electronic engineer.
And now the question.
V = IR
V is the voltage (potential difference or voltage drop) measured in volts.
I is the current measured in amperes ( symbol A )
and R is the resistance in Ohms ( symbol is the Latin Omega letter)
first rearrange the equation: R = V/I
now plug the figures into the equation:
R = 3/100
the answer is: 0.03 ohms.
I don't think you will be able to get a supply that delivers 3V at 100A though.

Equation for resistance in a circuit?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. It is defined as the ratio of the potential difference (volts) between the ends of the conductor to the magnitude of the current (amps) through the conductor.
What is a current in a circuit measured in?
ampsAnswerElectric current is measured by means of an ammeter. Electric current is expressed in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the magnetic effect of an electric current -i.e. the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.
Is the sum of the resistance in a parallel circuit always excessds the total resistance in a circuit?
Not sure what you mean. The equivalent (total) resistance in a parallel circuit is less than any individual resistance.
What is the voltage source of a circuit having a resistance of 16 ohms and drawing a current of 4.3 amperes?
According to ohms law... V=I * R So from the given values V = 4.3*16 = 68.8 Volts
If you have a circuit consisting of a battery and a wire What two factors determine the amount of current in the circuit?
The voltage of the battery, and the resistance of the circuit (including the resistance of the wire and the internal resistance of the battery).
What circuit exists when a conductor of conductive material of low resistance connects across the conductors in a circuit somewhere between the source and the load?
a "short" one
How do you know an electrical circuit has a short in it?
A short circuit is determined by a low resistance between two conductors or between a conductor and the ground. <<>> The circuit's over current protection usually trips resulting in the circuit having no power.
What factors effect the distance of an electric circuit?
the factors that effect are ,temp,volts,amperes,lentzs law governing electic,which is very common to volkmans law,,,,which is called back flux resistance +resistance of the conductor
In a circuit diagram the resistance is 100ohms and the current is 0.1 amperes?
10
What is the meaning of short circuit conductor?
A short circuit conductor is just a conductor in an unexpected location, often with much lower resistance that is expected for the normal load.
How many amperes of current will flow in a circuit if the voltage difference is 9 V and the resistance in the circuit is 3 Ω?
Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance 9 volts divided by 3 ohms = 3 amperes.
What is the resistance of a 230v and 10 amp circuit?
You can't really convert that. If you multiply volts and amperes, you get watts, a unit of power. Watts is equivalent to joules/second. If you multiply volts x amperes x seconds, you get joules.
Why can you ignore the resistances of wires in circuits with lower current?
Actually, it depends on the resistance of the other components in the circuit, and not so much on whether or not the total circuit current is low or not. Often, conductor resistance is ignored because it is so much lower than the active components that it does not matter. In a circuit with low resistance components, however, conductor resistance can be important, even if the total current is relatively low, because the voltage drop over the wire becomes a significant part of the overall circuit. To answer the specific question, even though its slightly misleading, conductor resistance does tend to become important in high current circuits because the voltage drop over the conductor (Ohm's Law: Voltage is current times resistance) can become high. Even in high current circuits, however, if the conductor is substantially less resistive than the components, the tendency is still to ignore it, except that you have to account for heating of the conductors along with heating of the components.
What does not limit current flow in a circuit - capacitance - high conductor resistance or longer conductor?
Of the three choices, capacitance does not limit current flow in an AC circuit.
How do you work out the current in a circuit?
we can calculate the current in a commmon electrical circuit by this formulae i.e,I=V\R where i is the current flowing in the conductor, R is resistance , V is the voltage.. THE FORMULA IS CORRECT but the term conductor does not suffice an explanation since a conductor is low in resistance R= resistance not conduction.
In a DC circuit must the positive and negative conductors be the same size if not how is the size difference determined?
Yes, since the current is the same through out the complete circuit. the design size of the conductor entering the circuit should be the same size as the conductor leaving the circuit.
What is the current when a voltage of 36 volts is applied to a circuit with a resistance of 6 ohms?
Six amperes. Use Ohm's law: the current is the voltage divided by the resistance
