Analysing a circuit with a shorted component?

Analysing a circuit with a shorted component need specialised electrical test equipment.


What happed if ammeter is placed in parallel with the component?

Ammeters have a very low resistance, as to not interfere with the circuit they are measuring current in. As such if you connect a very low resistance in parallel, the component is essentially shorted. A great many ammeter fuses have been blown because of this.


What trouble that exist in parallel circuit if one of the load in parallel circuit is shorted?

when loads are connected in parallel it means that they share common nodes at both the ends i-e voltage across all the loads is the same. when one of the load in such a circuit is shorted i-e its voltage is made zero volts, voltage across the other loads goes to zero because of parallel connection and they gets shorted also.


What is resistance on something that is shorted?

It depends on weather it is in a parallel or series circuit. In parallel the entire circuit it is in parallel with is shorted out. In series the total resistance decreases by the amount of the resistor that shorted out. Resistors usually open or change value with use.


Why if one branch in a parallel circuit is shorted all others will short?

A current checks less resistance path to flow. When one of parallel branches is shorted, it becomes have less resistance and whole the current will flow through it, means current before parallel branches and current after parallel branches becomes same, and all branches become short.


Why there is no current when two terminals of the diode are shorted?

There must be a break in the power supply elsewhere in the circuit. I suggest a blown fuse The only diode that generates electricity is a solar cell


What type of circuit is it that has a hot conductor contacting a neutral conductor?

A shorted circuit.


Why is 1995 thunderbird airbag flashing 53 or 35?

35 - passenger side air bag circuit low resistance or shorted 53 - intermittent or repaired air bag circuit shorted to ground


What is the name given to a circuit that has a load or resistance total of 0.0 ohms?

In that case, the circuit is shorted, or short-circuited.


What are the circuit effects due to a short circuit or open circuit?

It would depend on the circuit diagram. In some cases, the circuit would be incomplete (simplest case is a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal).Parallel branches that have a connection to the battery without going through other branches are independent of each other. Say you have two parallel branches and a battery. If you short circuit one of the branches, the other branch will not be affected but the battery will be (current through the battery would decrease because taking out a parallel branch increases resistance).In short, it would depend on the circuit diagram. Note that for a nanosecond, there would be current in an open circuit, but after this brief time there would be no current flow in the segment of the circuit that has been shorted.


What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?

The circuit becomes a pure resistance circuit where current and voltage are in phase with each others.


What is DTC P1432 2002 ford ranger?

P1432 - Thermostat Heater Control (THTRC) Circuit Failure The Comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the THTRC circuit to the PCM for high and low voltage. If during testing; voltage was to fall below a calibrated limit for a calibrated amount of time the test will fail and set the DTC and MIL. Open or shorted THTRC circuit Open VPWR Open or shorted thermostat assembly Damaged PCM DTC P1432 is a THTRC circuit check. Testing should include wire harness, thermostat heater and PCM.
