You open one of the leads of resistor connected in electronic circuit while measuring its resistance in order to not introduce error cause by other components in the circuit.

When 2 resistors are connected in parallel r1r2 are?

Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.


When a 1 ohm resistor and a 1 ohm resistor are connected in series what is their conbined resistance?

The combined resistance will be 2 Ohms.


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 is the equivalent resistance of three resistor with 3 ohms connected in star?

There is no 'equivalent resistance' for three resistors connected in star.


If a 15-ohm resistor is connected in parallel with a 30 ohm-resistor the equivalent resistance is?

Rt = 10


Function of a variable resistor?

Variable resistor is an resistor that can change its resistance manually, by rotating a handle or a screw.


What resistance must be connected in parallel to 6.0-ohm resistor to reduce the combined resistance to 15-ohm?

No such resistor exists. Any resistor placed in parallel with a 6.0 ohm resistor is going to reduce the combined resistance below 6.0 ohms.


What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?

the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.


What is the temperature sensitive resistor commonly used on vacuum gauges is called a?

The temperature sensitive resistor commonly used on vacuum gauges is called a thermistor. It is a type of resistor whose resistance changes significantly with temperature, making it useful for measuring variations in temperature within a system.


Describe the purpose of the coloured bands on a resistor?

The colored bands on a resistor indicate its resistance value and tolerance. By interpreting the color code, you can determine the resistance value of the resistor and the range within which the actual resistance may vary. This helps in identifying, sorting, and using resistors in electronic circuits.


What is the net resistance of two resistor connected in series?

The net resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of the two resistances. RSERIES = Summation1toN RN


A red resistor draws more current than a blue resistor when they are connected to the same battery which resistor has the lower resistance?

The voltage of a battery goes as the current times the resistance (V=IR). Because the voltage is being held constant, the resistor that draws the most current will have the lower resistance.
