What else can I help you with?
Did the the total voltage across the resistors does not depend on the resistor value?
It depends on where and how the resistor is placed in a circuit. A string of series resistors will split the voltage across all them depending on their values. All of the resistors in parallel will have the same voltage across all of them no matter what their resistance is.
What is the unit of the resistors?
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.

What components are placed in an electrical circuit to control the amount of resistance in circuit?
resistors, variable potentiometers
What happens to the current when more resistors are added in series?
Current decreasesWhen voltage remains constant and resistance increases the current in the circuit will reduce.More informationV=IRwhere V is voltage,I is current andR is resistance.From the above equation,R=V/I, and hence resistance is indirectly proportional to current.Therefore, an increase in resistance would have the effect of decreased current.NB: this holds true only as long as the voltage remains constant.Another opinionHowever, this is only true in the case of a circuit connected in series.When circuits are connected in parallel, the opposite happens. If there is an increase in the amount of resistors in parallel, the total resistance of the circuit then decreases and the current increases subsequently.Yet another viewNo, that's not stated right.If more resistors are added in parallel - so that the circuit's overall total resistance decreases and its total current increases - that is NOT in any way the opposite of what this question is asking about...Let's make this crystal clear, so that there is no confusion: "an increase in the amount of resistors" is NOT the same as "an increase in resistance".So a parallel circuit behaves EXACTLY the same as a series circuit: if its overall resistance increases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit decreases AND if its overall resistance decreases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit increases.Actually, the second opinion is correctIn a parallel circuit, there are more branches to allow electrons back to the power supply, so current increases. With more resistors in a circuit, the overall resistance in a parallel circuit DECREASES.In a series circuit, current is the same throughout. So if more resistors are added, resistance INCREASES and so current DECREASES.
What happen to current when paralle resistor added?
For the individual resistor, the current is constant, regardless of any other resister that's attached to it in parallel. The current that results from all the resistors combined decreases as the resistance of one or more of the resistors increases.
When a 30.0-V emf device is placed across two resistors in series a current of 14.0 A is flowing in each of the resistors. When the same emf device is placed across the same two resistors in parallel?
There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. 30 volts generating 14 amperes means the two resistors have a total series resistance of 2.143 ohms. Since no relationship was stated, we don't know the value of the individual resistors. If the two resistors had the same resistance, the net parallel resistance would be 0.536 ohms, and a current of 56 amperes would flow.
When a current carrying conductor is placed into a magnetic field a voltage will be generated perpendicular to both the current and the field This effect is called?
Hall Effect
What is compliance limit voltage?
Compliance voltage is the voltage available at the counter electrode that can be used to force current to flow and still maintain control of the working electrode voltage. The compliance should be specified in conjunction with a current value: "20V @ 200mA" or "20V @ full rated current". An amplifier's output voltage decreases at higher currents due to the output impedance of the amplifier.The voltage at the counter electrode is needed to force the electrochemical reaction at the counter electrode to proceed and to overcome the iR drop through the bulk of the electrolyte solution. Compliance voltage can become important when the currents are high, or when the conductivity of the solution is low (dilute electrolytes), or when a high resistance sintered glass or Vycor frit has been used to isolate the counter electrode.In practice, depending on the electrolyte and cell design, the potentiostats useable limits may be defined by either its maximum current specification or its compliance voltage limit. In either case, if the limits are exceeded the potentiostat will be unable to properly control the voltage of the working electrode.Example for testing compliance voltageConstruct a "dummy cell" with the following resistors, and connect the leads of the potentiostat as shown:This is representative of a cell with electrolyte of low conductivity. As the reference electrode is generally placed closer to the working/sense (the junction across which voltage is controlled and/or measured depending on potentiostatic or galvanostatic control, respectively), there is less impedance than between the counter and working/sense.Request the potentiostat to apply a 5V potential (i.e., a Chronoamperometry experiment), and you will see a current of 5mA current (as expected).
What is the voltage obtained when a capacitor is placed in a dc circuit?
Eventually, the capacitor will charge to approximately the source voltage level. As this occurs, the current in the circuit will drop to near zero.
When capacitors are used to shunt current across components such as resistors they are called?
A capacitor is typically placed across a resistor for the purpose of shunting either the AC component of a current (as in a transistor amplifier) or transient AC 'spikes', and is referred to as a "bypass capacitor".
Three resistors R1 2 R2 4 and R3 6 are connected in series to a battery of 36 V The total resistance in the circuit is?
Resistors placed in series create a total resistance that is found by simply adding the values of the resistors. (Knowing the applied voltage isn't necessary to solve this problem.) Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 = 2 ohms + 4 ohms + 6 ohms = 12 ohms
