In a series circuit where is the most voltage dropped?
At the point of highest resistance.
Which resistor of a series circuit receives the larget voltage drop?
The resistor with the most resistance.
What is the problem when you have 110-120 volt but when circuit is completed voltage drops to 30 volts?
A resistance in series with the circuit. It is most likely a wiring error, loose connection or load hooked in series instead of parallel.
In what part of the circuit do the electric charges releases most of their energy?
The component with the highest resistance in a series circuit will have, or "drop" the most voltage across it. All of the components in a series circuit will have the same amount of current flowing through them but not the same voltage drops if the resistances are different. More resistance more voltage across it, less resistance, less voltage across it.
What uses series circuit?
the connection in a series circuit would be a most it can be given in safety places
What is the most likely cause for resistance to vary in a circuit?
heat
How does a house use a series circuit?
The most common form of a series circuit in a house is a circuit breaker (optionally in series with an on-off switch) in series with a load, usually a light bulb.
Why are series circuit used for most control circuit?
Because The opening of any switch in a series circuit will open the circuit and stop the flow of current to the load
What is leakage resistance in RC circuit?
Leakage resistance in any circuit is resistance less than infinity where it is not expected, such as across an insulator. In the ideal sense, all circuits have leakage resistance because no insulator is perfect, but we usually ignore this except in special situations because it does not normally matter in real applications. In an RC circuit, leakage resistance would most typically be across the capacitor.
4 most important factors in an electric circuit?
electromotive force, current, resistance, and power
What two components in a timer circuit influence the timing most?
R (resistance) and C (capacitance).
When checking resistance does the power have to be off?
Short answer: yes. Most modern multimeters will not be damaged by external power when measuring resistance. But they will give erroneous readings. It is best to remove the power and disconnect the measured resistance from the larger circuit. A multimeter determines resistance by applying a small voltage, and measuring the resulting current. If the resistor has an external voltage source, then it will interfere with the measurement. Furthermore, if the resistance is connected to a larger circuit, then the resistance of this larger circuit will also be involved.
