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 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.


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.

What is carbon composition?

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.
