500 ohm resistance is widely used to convert 4-20 ma current signals generated by a wide range of sensors into voltage signals.

It provides 2 to 10 volts to the device. E=IxR.

Why you use 250 Ohm resistor in series with HART protocol communication?

You need to use the 250 Ohm resistor in series with HART protocol communication because it acts as a shunt resistor.


What is the power dissipated by a parallel resistor of 100 ohms with a 40v power source?

You may find it helpful to use Ohm's law and the definition of electrical power.


To reduce the voltage, I need to change the voltage of 5v to 4.5v, I use a 30 ohm resistor, how many watts of resistor should I use?

To calculate the power rating of a resistor required to drop the voltage from 5V to 4.5V using a 30 ohm resistor, we can use the formula: Power = Voltage Drop x Current The current flowing through the resistor can be calculated using Ohm's law: Current = Voltage Drop / Resistance Substituting the values we get: Current = (5V - 4.5V) / 30 ohms = 0.0167 A (rounded to four significant figures) Now we can calculate the power required: Power = (5V - 4.5V) x 0.0167 A = 0.00835 watts So a resistor with a power rating of at least 0.00835 watts (or 8.35 milliwatts) should be sufficient for this application. However, it is recommended to use a resistor with a slightly higher power rating to ensure that it can handle any temporary power surges or variations in current that may occur. A 0.25 watt resistor should be suitable for this purpose.


If a 100 ohm resistor is needed in an electric circuit carrying a current of 0.3 amperewhat resistor would you select?

A 100 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.3 amperes would, by Ohm's Law, have a potential difference of 30 volts. A current of 0.3 amperes through a voltage of 30 volts would, by the Power Law, dissipate a power of 9 watts. You need a 10 watt resistor, alhough it is better to use a 20 watt resistor. E = IR 30 = (0.3)(100) P = IE 9 = (30)(0.3)


What resistor should you use to get 9v to 6v?

You can only use a resistor to drop a voltage at a constant current. If you know the current, use Ohm's law to calculate the resistor value.


Can resistance be added to speakers to make a 4 ohm speaker have an 8 ohm load?

You "can" add a four ohm resistor in series with a four ohm speaker, and make it look like an eight ohm speaker, however, the frequency response will not be the same. It is better to use to correct speaker for the amplifier, or use two four ohm speakers in parallel. That resistors power rating must exceed the rating of the speaker. Half the from the amplifier will go to the speaker, while half will go to the resistor, making it get quite hot.


Can you run 4ohm resistor to make 4 ohms speakers 2 ohm?

Yes, you can safely use a 4 ohm amp with one 8 ohm speaker, but you will not achieve full power. The 4 ohm amp is designed to supply a certain voltage into a 4 ohm speaker. Supplying that same voltage to an 8 ohm speaker will result in half the power, or -3dB. For maximum power, use a 4 ohm speaker, or two 8 ohm speakers in parallel.


A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?

3.0 or threeAnswerIt depends how they are connected.In series, ther total resistance will be 220 ohms and, so, the current will be 120/220 = 0.545 A.In parallel, ther total resistance will be 20 ohms and, so, the current will be 120/20 = 6 A.

What resistor can you use to replace a 47 kilo-ohm resitor?

You should use the same size resistor; a 47 kilo-ohm.CommentThe correct spelling is 'kilohm'.


What is the power rating of a resistor?

The power rating of a resistor determines how much power it can dissipate without being damaged. For example, a 1/4W resistor is designed to handle up to 1/4W continuously without being destroyed. When selecting a resistor to use in a circuit, use Ohm's law to calculate the power it will dissipate. For example, placing a 1kΩ resistor across a 12VDC signal will allow 12/1000 = 0.012A to flow thru the resistor. 0.012*12 = 0.144W will be dissipated. Thus, a 1/8W (0.125W) resistor would not be sufficient, and a 1/4W (0.25W) must be used.
