Why you need resistor?

Resistors are used for a variety of purposes: to allow voltage levels to be reduced when in series circuits, to bleed off capacitors, to assert the output level of tri-state or open collector microchips and to protect circuits from damage.

If you have a 12point6V battery and a 9V receiver how can you work out which resistor is needed?

you better not. you need a 9V regulator for this, not a resistor!


How do you calculate the correct resistor value needed using 12vdc to run 6vdc circuit?

You need to drop 6 volts across the resistor. -- The resistor you need is 6/(the current in amps that your 6vdc device uses to operate) ohms. Example: If the device uses 1/2 Amp when it's running, then you need a 6/0.5 = 12-ohm resistor. -- And the power-dissipation rating of the resistor has to be at least 36/resistance watts. Example: For the 12-ohm resistor in the last example, it needs to be a (3-watt or more) resistor.


Why are fixed resisters used in many circuts?

Hi, where there is no need of changing the value of resistor then why do you place variable resistor instead a fixed resistor. After all the selection of resistor depends on the cause of use in application. by the way wide range of resistor values are avilable in the market. if the application requires tuning operation then variable resistor is need to be mounted. nothing is mandatory unless the application requires.

What is the voltage drop running through resistor 1 resistor 1 equals 3 ohms?

There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. You need to provide either the voltage across the resistor, or the power dissipated by the resistor. please restate the question.


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 resistor to use to drop 9volt's dc to 6 volt's dc?

To drop a 12 volt source to 6 volts with a resistor, you have to drop 6 volts. The value of the resistor you need would be 6 divided by the current the device pulls in amps. For example, if the device pulls a half an amp the resistor has to be 6/0.5 or 12 ohms. As this device runs on 6 volts and draws 1/2 amp, it's wattage is 3 watts (volts x Amps). Common practice is to double this, or the resistor will probably get too hot and may open. I'd use a 10 watt to resistor to maintain a good margin for safety, and they're readily available. Use a 12 ohm, 10 watt resistor.


What is different between the resistor and pullup resistor?

A "pull-up" resistor is a resistor used to to perform a specific electronic function - it is not a different type of resistor. A very small current flows through a pull-up resistor so it does not need to be high wattage (1/8 watt is generally fine). The value of a pull-up resistor depends on the resistance of the sensor. If it is simply on or off (no resistance) then a typical pull-up resistor might be 10k ohms.


Is changing a blower motor resistor difficult?

Changing the actual resistor is dead easy. The hard part is gaining access to the resistor. Some vehicles need the dash assembly removed to gain access.


How do you test to identify a bad resistor?

First you need to know the value of the resistor. Follow the link for a handy resistor calculator After determining the value of your resistor simply test the resistor with an ohmmeter to see if it is at true value. General use should be within + or - 5%


How do you change the blower motor resistor on 2007 Nissan Versa?

You will need to change the blower motor resistor by finding it near the air duct system. You will take the old resistor off and replace it the same way.
