In theory, you would get infinite current. But, of course, in practise, this cannot happen, as any large current would cause severe damage to the source supplying that current, not to mention the conductors involved. Protection against such currents would be provided by a fuse or circuit breaker.

Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
What is the effect of resistance of the flow of current?
Thet resistor opposes the flow of current through it becoz of its internal construction. Its material has opposing property.
What happens to current flow when the resistance is higher than normal?
For a specific voltage, current flow is inversely proportional to resistance.
The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
How will you describe the graph of resistance against current?
If resistance is high that time the current flow is low. Bcoz current always flow through the low resistance path.
Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
What amount of resistance has the least amount of current flow?
The higher the resistance, the less current will flow through it (while the supply voltage remains constant).
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
What is electronic resister?
Electronics resistor are a basic passive element it oppose the flow of current . the opposition depend upon the value of that resistance high value resistance will only able to flow some few amount of current through them. but low value of resistance allow to flow large current through them.
What would happen if they was no resistance?
current would go to a maximum, (if there was voltage present), if there was no voltage, no current would flow. the only thing that would limit the current flow (if voltage is present) is the small resistance of the cables, but say there was no resistance it would be like in a short circuit maximum current would flow at the instant voltage is applied. that is why RCD's work as they should, you want the most amount of current to flow at once because otherwise if the current was limited it would not trip in time to stop someone getting electrocuted.
What is the effect on the resistance of a carbon composition resistor as the current flow through it increases?
As current flowing through carbin composition resistor increses then resistance will decrese as the function of resistance is to oppose the flow of current.....AnswerA resistor is termed a 'linear' or 'ohmic' device, which means its resistance stays constant over a wide range of current variation -in other words, it obeys Ohm's Law up to the maximum current is designed to handle. If this were not the case, then the resistor would not be suitable for many applications. The maximum current it is designed to carry, before its resistance changes beyond its tolerance, is determined by its physical size, as the larger its surface area, the more efficiently it can dissipate heat.
What is the meaning of electrical resistance?
Definition Of Resistance In Electrical:Property of a material to oppose the flow of electric current through it is called Resistance.
What is the effect of resistance of the flow of current?
Thet resistor opposes the flow of current through it becoz of its internal construction. Its material has opposing property.
Why must you make current flow through the meter in order to measure it?
You don't. ...unless you want to directly measure the current in a circuit branch. That's the purpose of an ammeter. You can also use a volt meter if you know the resistance of a resistor in that branch to determine current (assuming DC circuit here) - current = voltage / resistance. This may be more useful for circuitry that is on a breadboard, since inserting an ammeter may not be practical.
Which branch in a parallel circuit has the least amount of current flow?
The least amount of current will flow through the branch of a parallel circuit that has the most resistance.
What is the amount of current that flows through an electrical pathway with a resistance of 48 and voltage of 240v?
5amps of current will flow it
