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.
What is the voltage drop running through resistor one
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 they're in parallel, then each resistor acts as if it were the only one,and the presence of any others is irrelevant.The current through the 60-ohm resistor is I = E/R = (120/60) = 2 amperes.

If they're in parallel, then the resistors have no effect on each other. The current through each one is the same as it would be if the others were not there at all. The current through the 120Ω resistor is 120 volts/120Ω = 1 Ampere. The 60Ω and the 40Ω are red herring resistors.
Normally through the resistor's internal construction. It flows through any part of the resistor that has low resistance- be it anywere. And then there's this. It might be that one should consider that current flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across a resistor. Perhaps this is where the question began. The former is fairly straight forward. The latter can be vexing. Voltage is said to be dropped across a resistor when current is flowing through it. The voltage drop may be also considered as the voltage measureable across that resistor or the voltage "felt" by that resistor. It's as if that resistor was in a circuit by itself and hooked up to a battery of that equivalent voltage.
A resistor is a conductor that dissipates some of the electrical energy fromthe current flowing through it. The energy dissipated by the resistor is(current through it)2 x (resistance)
p=I*I*R ,P=V*V/R;where I is the current passing through the resistor, and V is the voltage across resistor, and R is the Resistance of the resistor,
A damaged resistor is one that it fried by current that is too high
Think it through. You are adding a second path for current flow. Current flow will increase to some extent. Therefore, with more current flow, resistance must....
You'll see a voltage drop across a resistor if current is flowing through it. It only has to be a part of a complete circuit, i.e. one in which current is flowing.
