Hi!
Well, it depends what voltage is "pushing" harder on the resistor. If you are ONLY dealing with 2 voltage sources and a single resistor, then the voltage source with the higher potential (or voltage) will dictate what polarity the resistor is.
Cheers!

What is the resistor of 18 ohms when connected to a 9v battery?
Even though it is connected to a 9 volt source, it is still a resistor.
What happens to the applied voltage when a change in circuit resistance occurs?
When a dc supply is connected to a resistor, current flows. The current in amps is equal to the supply voltage divided by the resistance in ohms. The power used is the voltage times the current, and that appears as heat in the resistor, which might become hot to touch.
How does a voltage quadrupler work?
A Voltage Quadrupler would be a DC circuit. A transformer would be used to increase the voltage in an AC circuit. To quadruple the voltage in a DC circuit would consist of (min) 4 resistors. 1 resistor would be directly in parallel with the power source, that is, one side of the R would be connected to one side of the source, and the other side of the R would be connected to the other side of the source. The remaining resistors are configured in a sort of series/parallel with the 1st resistor to increase (ladder fashion) the output voltage. See the related links for a more detailed explntn.
Does a voltage source have resistance?
Voltage source: is any source that voltage and amperage come from. Resistor: is any part of a circuit that consumes that energy!
What is the voltage across the first ohm resistor?
if R4 is the only resistor (the load), then the drop would be the same as the energy source
How you calculate the polarity of voltage source across the resistor when two voltage sources are connected?
A: by using thevenin theorem
Why you need to connect resistor in series for the practical voltage source?
A resistor is connected in series with a practical voltage source in order to determine the current produced by the source.
Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it. The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor. As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.
Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?
a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.
How resistor are tested given a voltage source and ammeter?
I can think of the following characterisatics of a physical resistor that would beimportant to know in various circuit design situations:ResistancePower dissipation capabilityEquivalent parallel capacitanceEquivalent series inductanceI think it's accurate to say that Resistance is the only one that can be measuredwith a voltage source and ammeter.It would be necessary to know the voltage of the voltage source. Then proceedas follows:Connect the voltage source, resistor, and ammeter in series.Energize the voltage source.Read the ammeter.The resistor's resistance is (Voltage)/(Current, as indicated by the ammeter).
When a circuit consists of a capacitor and a resistor in series with a voltage source and the voltage across the resistor becomes zero then the capacitor is?
fully charged.
Why must an LED always have a resistor connected in series with it?
An LED usually has a resistor connected in series with it because an LED (light emitting diode) is not linear in current to voltage (like a resistor) and has to be operated within specified current and voltage conditions. In most circuits the supply voltage is higher than the forward voltage of the LED so the LED would burn up from too much current without a current limiting resistor in series. The resistor sets the voltage and current to a good operating point (voltage and current) for the LED by dropping some voltage across it. The operating point varies depending on the size, type and manufacturer of an LED so the LED's data is used to select the right resistor size for a given voltage source.
What is the resistor of 18 ohms when connected to a 9v battery?
Even though it is connected to a 9 volt source, it is still a resistor.
What is unilateral element?
When an element polarity of voltage or current source changes, the magnitude of the corresponding current or voltage changes is called unilateral element. Eg: Diode Even Diode connected back to back in parallel act as a Bilateral.

When a dc supply is connected to a resistor, current flows. The current in amps is equal to the supply voltage divided by the resistance in ohms. The power used is the voltage times the current, and that appears as heat in the resistor, which might become hot to touch.

Why do resistor voltage decrease while capacitor discharges?
The reason why resistor voltage decreases while a capacitor discharges is because the resistor acts like a source of electrical energy. As the capacitor discharges, it draws energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. This is because the capacitor is acting like a drain, and is taking energy out of the resistor, thus causing the voltage across the resistor to decrease. The resistor and capacitor work together in order to create a discharge circuit. This is done by connecting the capacitor to the resistor, and then to a voltage source. The voltage source supplies the energy to the resistor, and then the resistor transfers this energy to the capacitor. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. In order to understand this process better, it is important to understand the basics of Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the resistance. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which means that the current through the resistor decreases, and therefore the voltage across the resistor will also decrease.
