When the resistor removed from a parallel connection of the circuit whether the resistance increase or decrease?

if we remove a resistor from the parallel connection the effective resistance value will be increased.


What is resistance on something that is shorted?

It depends on weather it is in a parallel or series circuit. In parallel the entire circuit it is in parallel with is shorted out. In series the total resistance decreases by the amount of the resistor that shorted out. Resistors usually open or change value with use.


Can inserting a resistor in a circuit have an effect similar to an short circuit?

It creates an extra load to the circuit if placed parallel to other circuits. this load approaches the equivalent of a short circuit as the resistance value placed there reduces.


How to find Equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors?

To find equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors, start simple and expand... Find the smallest part of the circuit, such as a pair of resistors in series or a pair of resistors in parallel, and compute the equivalent single resistor value. Repeat that process, effectively covering more and more of the circuit, until you arrive at a single resistance that is equivalent to the circuit. For resistors in series: RTOTAL = R1 + R2 For resistors in parallel: RTOTAL = R1R2/(R1+R2)


Parallel tuned circuit in resonance frequency?

A parallel resonant circuit has at its heart an inductorand a capacitor. These are the two parallel components. They each react to voltage and current 180 degrees out of phase with each other. When we "hit" this circuit, called a parallel tank circuit, or just a tank, with voltage, one component is "putting energy into the circuit" while the other one is "storing it up" and then the two components switch roles. The result is that the tank will oscillate, and the frequency of oscillation will be determined by the value of the capacitor and the inductor.

What happens to current in a parallel circuit?

in a parallel circuit, current get divided among the parallel branches in a manner so that the product of current and the resistance of each branch becomes same. The sum of the current in each branch is equal to the total current of the circuit.


Why resistor should disconnected from the circuit when measured the value of resistor?

if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.


Why ammeter works as short circuited in circuit?

The ammeter is basically a Galvanometer with a small resistance to parallel with it. As we know that, if we connect two resistances in parallel, then the equivalent resistance is equal to the the value which is less than the value of lowest resistance connected in parallel. suppose if we connect 1 ohm & 0.1 ohm in parallel, then the equivalent of it will be 0.0909 ohm (less than 0.1 ohm). means in parallel circuit the equivalent resistance become smaller. as like this a small parallel resistance across galvanometer decreases the value of the value of resistance of it. since it gets very small value, so it connected in series to measure the value of current in the circuit. due to very low resistance, it drops very low voltage on it ( upto can be negligible) so we assume that it works like a short circuit.


Reduce Q factor in parallel RLC?

In general, the way to reduce effective Q in a parallel RLC circuit is to reduce the value of R.


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.

What is the three laws of parallel circuit?

The potential difference remains the same over the components in parallel and the current splits up proportianally to the components conductances. The components conductances add up to give the combined conductance of the parallel circuit. Conductance is 1 / resistance


What is the difference between parelllel and series circuit?

A parallel circuit has the same voltage but different current in each leg and series circuit has the same current but different voltage on each components unless the same value.
