Resistor values are given in ohms. A value may be selected to deliver a specific current at a given voltage. This is given in what is known as Ohm's Law where:
Voltage (V) = Current (A) X Resistance (Ohm)
A 12ohm resistor placed across a 12V battery would pass 1Amp of current and put out 12W of heat.
The measuring SI unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω), named after scientist Georg Simon Ohm.
most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors
Measure the plate resistors' (R) voltage (E) and use Ohms law to convert that to amps (I). I=E/R
the most likely fix for it is to take the sending unit out of the tank and check the contacts for the resistors on it. then try to repair if possible or replace it.
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.
Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.
Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.
Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.
Resistors are like funnels, they restrict the flow of current.
Linear resistors
resistors are used to resist the flow of current in a circuit.......
