I=r/v I is the current, r is the resistance of the reisistor and v is the voltage of the circuit

You have it reversed, my friend.

Ohm's law states: I = V/R

What is the relationship between resistors connected in series and the flow of current through them?

When resistors are connected in series, the flow of current through them is the same. This means that the current passing through each resistor is equal, as it has to pass through each resistor in the series circuit.


Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?

Current flows through a resistor, not across it.


How does current change through a resistor?

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.


The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?

True


Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?

Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.


If two bulbs in a series are connect to a battery and the current in the first bulb is found to be 1 ampere then what is the current through the battery?

A circuit with a 2 ohm resistor and a 4 ohm resistor in series with a 12 volt battery will have 2 amps flowing through each resistor. The current is the same in each resistor because they are in series, and a series circuit has constant current throughout.


How current passes through resistor.?

What is the current running through resistor four?1 amps..!What is the current running through resistor one? 3 amps...!What is the current running through resistor three? 2amps..!What is the current running through resistor five? 3 amps..!What is the voltage drop running through resistor five? 45 volts...!What is the equivalent resistance through the parallel portion of the circuit? 6 ohmsAnswerA 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.


How did the current before the resistor compare with the current after?

Current flow would be the same through the resistor, since it's in series, but the voltage would be slightly reduced based on the resistance. If you have 2 resistors in parallel, the current will divide through each resistor, and the voltage stays the same. PLL Ohm's law and water flow - PLL


Is current is drop when it flowing through the resistor?

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.


What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?

The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.


Why does a resistor heat up when an electric current flows through it?

Current moving through a resistor causes it to heat up because of the flowing electrons bumping into the atoms in the resistor.


What is a ballast resistor?

A ballast resistor is an electrical resistor whose resistance varies with the current passing through it, thus maintaining a constant current.
