The color coded value have a tolerance (last color ring). The usual is 2-5%. While in most case this has little influence, in certain cases it can be important.

How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?

The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.


What is your observation of resistors in series?

I observe that the total effective resistance of several resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistance values of the individual resistors.


Carbon resistors are not available in market of each number of resistance why?

carbon resistors of standard values are manufactured because other values can be obtained by series and parallel combination of standard values. Moreover even standard values do not offer exact Resistance's will have tolerance


How does the effective resistance of four resistors in parallel compared to the individual resistance?

It depends on the values of the individual resistors. But if each resistor is identical, then the total resistance will be one-quarter that of an individual resistor.


What is the total resistance of twelve 5.6 ohms resistors in a row?

If they are in series, you need to add the resistance values.


How will amps and current differ in a series if you get resistors with different resistance?

-- "Amps" and "current" are the same thing. Electric current is measured in units of Amperes. -- The current is always the same at every point in a series circuit, no matter how many resistors of the same or different values are in the circuit.


Does the current remains the same in a series circuit despite the different values if the resistors in the circuit?

current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa


How do you check if your ohm meters resistance is working properly?

Get some resistors of known values and check your meter with them.


Three 8.0-W resistors are connected in series What is their equivalent resistance?

Three 8.0-W resistors are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent resistance?


What is the resistance of two resistors in series?

Add the two together. For instance, two 100 ohm resistors in series have a total resistance of 200 ohms.


What are specifications of resistor?

The resistance, the precision of that value, the thermal or electrical environment, the style of indicating these values. There are wire-wound resistors, cracked carbon resistors, carbon resistors and so on.


How can you find the resistance network using some 1 ohm resistors in order to have minimum resistance?

The minimum possible combined resistance of a handful of resistors, no matter how many or what their values are, is always formed by connecting them all in parallel. The maximum possible resistance always results from connecting them all in series.
