To read the value of a resistor:

Resistors are color coded, you can use the chart found below

And how accurate the values of resistors are is their tolerance, also found in the chart

Why resistor should disconnected from the circuit when measured the value of resistor?

if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.


What work resistor?

when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.


What is the lifespan of a resistor?

A resistor doesn't deteriorate with age, and has no particular 'life-span', as long as it's used properly. -- A resistor in a box on the shelf, or in a circuit where it stays cool, will last indefinitely. -- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate enough power to make it hot may change its resistance value permanently, but will continue to operate. -- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate even more than that, to a ridiculous extreme, may melt or explode. When that happens, it's the end of the resistor's life-span. But it wasn't the resistor's fault.


Does a Resistor have a different resistance when connected to a power source vs if the resistance is tested when the resistor is out of circuit?

No, the resistance of a resistor remains the same whether it is connected to a power source or tested out of circuit. The resistance value is an intrinsic property of the resistor and does not change based on the external conditions.


What happens in a series circuit if one of the resistors is replaced with a resistor having a lower resistance value?

In a series circuit, if one resistor is replaced with a resistor of lower resistance, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This leads to an increase in the overall current flowing through the circuit.


How connect a variable resistor to circuit?

To connect a variable resistor to a circuit, identify the two terminals of the variable resistor. Connect one terminal to the input or output of the circuit where you want to adjust the resistance. Connect the other terminal to either the ground or another reference point depending on the circuit's design. Ensure that the resistance value on the variable resistor is adjusted as needed for your circuit application.


In a parallel circuit the smallest resistor is 500 ohms. What is the largest value this parallel circuit can have?

500 ohms.


What is the average value of the alternating current (AC) in the circuit?

The average value of the alternating current (AC) in the circuit is calculated by finding the root mean square (RMS) value of the current waveform. This value represents the equivalent direct current that would produce the same amount of power dissipation in a resistor as the AC current.

What does a fixed resistor do in a circuit?

It resist the flow of current according to the resistance value.


How do you find unknown value of a resistor when total resistor values and voltage are known in a series circuit?

A: If you know the total resistance and total voltage then you know total current flow for the circuit, this current will be same for every resistor in series however the voltage drop will change for each resistor . So measuring the voltage drop across the resistor in question and divide by the total current will give you the resistor value.


What does a variable resistor diagram illustrate?

A variable resistor diagram illustrates how a resistor can change its resistance value, allowing for adjustable control of electrical current in a circuit.
