On the contrary, for a given voltage, lowering the resistance will increment the current and the power dissipated by the resistor. hence heating up the resistor.
For a higher resistance value, you will need to increment the current by incrementing the voltage to increment the power dissipated.
Resistors heat up for the same reason that any device that uses energy heats up.
If you pass current (amperes) through a resistor, the power across that resistor (watts) is voltage times current. That power must go someplace, so it makes heat.
Heat produced due to resistance is given by the expression Q = i^2 R t
i is the current flowing through, R is the resistance value and t is the time of flow of current.
So heat produced is directly proportional to the resistance value.
Hence higher the resistance value more the heat produced
This is only the case for insulators. An increase in temperature imparts energy into the material, releasing free electrons from the atoms' valence orbitals. An increase in the number of free electrons essentially makes the material a better conductor, thus reducing its resistance. However, this usually happens only at extremely high temperatures, far beyond those encountered in normal operations.
For electrical conductors, the reverse is true, because thermal energy makes all the particles vibrate more, so the free electrons collide more frequently with the lattice atoms and flow less freely.
Because resistance have positive temprature coefficient.
So with increase in temprature it increases
The resistance of fuse wire is low, typically in the range of 0.01 to 1 ohm. This low resistance allows the fuse wire to quickly heat up and melt when current exceeds a safe level, breaking the circuit and protecting the rest of the circuit from damage.
An open circuit is when there is a break in the circuit, preventing current flow. A short circuit is when there is a direct connection between the power source and ground, causing excessive current flow. Both can disrupt the normal function of a circuit.
Heat.
Adding anything(yes,even a superconductor) to a any circuit adds resistance, especially devices that are by there very nature high resistors
A high-resistance bulb typically has a thicker filament compared to a low-resistance bulb. The thicker filament in a high-resistance bulb can withstand the greater heat generated by the increased resistance, resulting in a longer lifespan for the bulb.
Too high a resistance is always not a good thing in a circuit. That's what "too high" means.
On Circuit Resistance = Close to the total load Resistance. Off Circuit Resistance = Near Infinitive High Resistance.
The voltmeter has an internal resistance, which should be as high as possible. As this resistance draws current from the circuit under test, it will affect circuit operation. This is more pronounced in a high impedance circuit because the current drawn flows through higher resistances.
There is no such a thing as infinite resistance but it could be a very high resistance.
A heating element. That is made out of high electrical resistance material. As electricity pass through the element a high amount of resistance is encountered, thus heat is created.
The resistance of fuse wire is low, typically in the range of 0.01 to 1 ohm. This low resistance allows the fuse wire to quickly heat up and melt when current exceeds a safe level, breaking the circuit and protecting the rest of the circuit from damage.
Another name for a circuit with low resistance and high current is a short circuit. It is dangerous because, if you have sufficient energy in the power source, you can damage components and/or cause fires.
The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.
The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.
No. There should be substantial resistance only where the circuit design needs it and wants it, and as little as possible everywhere else in the circuit.
An open circuit is when there is a break in the circuit, preventing current flow. A short circuit is when there is a direct connection between the power source and ground, causing excessive current flow. Both can disrupt the normal function of a circuit.
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
