Answer
A resistor is a conductor, albeit one with a higher resistance than a length of wire, so current passes through it without any problem. The magnitude of the current will, of course, be somewhat lower because of the additional resistance.
When current passes through a resistor, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, which causes the resistor to heat up. This process is known as Joule heating.
it resists the flow of cuurent
A resistor in a circuit works by impeding the flow of electrical current, which helps regulate the amount of current passing through the circuit. This is achieved by converting electrical energy into heat energy as the current passes through the resistor, limiting the flow of electricity.
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
When an electric current flows through a resistor, the resistor resists the flow of the current, causing a decrease in the current. This decrease in current is proportional to the resistance of the resistor, as described by Ohm's Law.
No, resistors do not store energy. They dissipate electrical energy in the form of heat when current passes through them.
Resistors don't care whether a d.c. or an a.c. current passes through them. So, yes, they can.
This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.
Current flows in loops, voltage drops across elements. With relation to current, what flows in, must flow out, so no, current is not dropped across a resistor, it flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across the resistor.
A resistor gets hot when electricity passes through it because the resistance in the resistor causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is dissipated as the resistor resists the flow of electricity, leading to an increase in temperature.
Current moving through a resistor causes it to heat up because of the flowing electrons bumping into the atoms in the resistor.
A ballast resistor is an electrical resistor whose resistance varies with the current passing through it, thus maintaining a constant current.
