What resistor should you use to get 9v to 6v?

You can only use a resistor to drop a voltage at a constant current. If you know the current, use Ohm's law to calculate the resistor value.


What do the bands on resistors mean?

in simple terms, band represent numbers, ex:- 10K resistor have different colour code and that is difference from 5k resistor. if you type in google 'resistor colour code' that will describe how to calculate a resistor value. thanks


How do you calculate the time constant in a series resistor?

A resistor by itself has no time constant. For a circuit to have a time constant it must contain either capacitors or inductors.


How is resistance calculated?

You can measure it, but you can't calculate it. That's why the resistance of a resistor is always printed on it, either in numbers or in color bands. Without that marking, the resistor is pretty useless. If it accidentally missed being marked during manufacture, it would be either discarded, or sold surplus for bubkes.


A 120 oh resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. What is te current running through te 40 ohm resistor?

To find the current through the 40 ohm resistor, first calculate the total resistance of the parallel circuit: 1/Rt = 1/120 + 1/60 + 1/40. Then, calculate the total current using Ohm's Law, I = V/Rt. Finally, use the current divider rule to find the current passing through the 40 ohm resistor.


How do you get minimum and maximum value of resistor?

The minimum and maximum possible value is defined by the tolerance. To calculate the range of the resistor, simply add or remove the amount of the tolerance. For example, a 100Kohm resistor with 5% tolerance can range from 95Kohm through until 105Kohm. The lower the tolerance, the more accurate the resistor is.


What does it mean if resistor x is steeper then resistor y?

If resistor X is steeper than resistor Y in a voltage versus current graph (I-V curve), it indicates that resistor X has a lower resistance value compared to resistor Y. The steeper slope means that for a given increase in voltage, resistor X allows a greater increase in current, following Ohm's Law (V = IR). Therefore, resistor X conducts more current than resistor Y for the same voltage applied.


How many amps will you get on a 9 volt battery with a 100 ohm resistor and a 100 ohm resistor and a 470 ohm resistor?

You need to calculate the equivalent resistance. For instance, if the three resistors are connected in series, simply add all the resistance values up. Then, you calculate the current (in amperes) using Ohm's Law (V=IR); that is, you need to divide the voltage by the resistance.


How do resistors act in parallel?

Parallel resistors act like a resistor smaller than the smallest parallel resistor. Calculate as 1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3...)
