What size resistor in parallel to reduce from 120 volts to 100 volts?
A resistor in parallel with a voltages source will not cause the voltage to drop, theoretically. To get a 20 volt drop you need a resistance in series, and the number of ohms is 20 divided by the current in amps. If the current is unknown or variable, the voltage can't be dropped by using a resistor.
When an AC voltage is being measured across a 15 resistor which is carrying a current of 12 amps the selector switch should be set to the AC voltage position of 2 volts 200 volts 20 volts 1000 volts?
Two Hundred
Can inserting a resistor in a circuit produce an effect similar to a open circuit?
Of course it depends entirely on the ohm's resistance of the resistor. The higher the resistance, the lower the comparison to a short circuit.
How do you reduce 48 volts dc to 12 volts dc with resistors?
Yes. You can use a voltage divider. Say, for instance, one 1KOhm resistor in series with a 3KOhm resistor. Connect the 3k resistor to the 48 volts and connect the 1k resistor to ground. The 1k resistor will have 12 volts acress it. These resistors need to be at least 1 watt each as they are going to dissipate 0.576 watts and get warm. Now, if you attempt to pull power from the 1k resistor, note that regulation will be poor because the impedance of the load will go in parallel with the 1k resistor and change its value.
What size resistor do you need to drop 18 volts dc to 16 volts dc?
To drop 18 volts DC to 16 volts DC, you need a resistor that can handle the current flowing through the circuit. The voltage drop required is 2 volts (18V - 16V). To calculate the resistor value, use Ohm's Law (V = I × R); rearranging gives R = V/I. The specific resistor value depends on the current (I) in the circuit. For example, if the current is 1 amp, you would need a 2-ohm resistor (2V/1A = 2Ω).
What is the voltage drop across a 12 ohm resistor with a source of 24 volts?
If there's nothing else between the ends of the resistor and the power supply, then the voltage across the resistor is 24 volts, and the current through it is 2 amperes.
What is the volt drop across a 10k resistor with a 5 volt supply?
If there is nothing else in the circuit, then the voltage drop across the resistor will be the full supply voltage of 5 volts. The size of the resistor does not matter in this case - it will always be 5 volts.
What is 9 volts across a 300 ohm resistor?
9v
What is the purpose of a resistor in an electronic circuit If the resistor converts energy to heat then are you wasting energy any time you use a resistor?
In its simplest use a resistor in a circuit is used to limit the amount of current flow, or to decrease the amount of voltage applied to a device. One example is you had a 12 volt battery and you need/ wanted to connect it to a device that ran on 9 volts then a resistor can be chosen to reduce the 12 volts to the 9 volts required.
A meter should indicate how many volts when connected to a 100 ohm resistor that has 6 amps of current passing through it?
600 VDC.
How do you convert 12 volts dc to 3 volts dc for LED?
Depends on the led forward bias threashold, if its a typical led it will be .7 volts so, .7x6=4.2V, so pick a resistor that will drop around 7 volts. What is the current? Then just to V=IR, 7=IR.
If the volts going in equals 5 and there is a resistance that equals 6 what would be the volts coming out?
The question is a bit ambiguous, but I will try to address it. If the 6 ohm resistance is in series with another resistance then some of the 5 volts would be dropped across the 6 ohm resistance and the remainder of the voltage would be dropped across the other resistance. To calculate the voltage, use the 'resistor voltage divider equation' (Google it). If the 5 volts is applied across only a 6 ohm resistance, then the top of the resistor is at 5 volts and the bottom of the resistor would be at 0 volts. The resistor would drop all of the voltage.
