The letter R, usually with a subscript ( like R1 R2 etc. ) labels a resistor.

A zig-zag line ---/\/\/\/-------- is the electrical symbol for a resistor in a 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 measuring the voltage across a resistor the reading is 0v what is the first step to locate the problem?

The resistor has gone to open ( or possibly short ) circuit. Remove ( if possible ) the resistor from the circuit and measure its stand alone resistance. If the resistor measures infinate then you need to replace it with whatever the circuit asks for. ie 10ohms, 15 ohms etc. Make sure you test the simple things first such as power supply and ensure that you are receiving power to at least one side of the resistor. If you are working on an electronic card then make sure you check your ' circuit paths ' you may have a burnt track. Test your continuity across your paths. Don't nescessarily concerntrate on the resistor itself it may not have power on it due to another component failure or circuit failure. Cheers.

The dimmer switch in a lighting circuit controls the brightness of one or more lamps by varying the resistance in the circuit what schematic symbol could be used to represent this device?

Use the standard resistor symbol and then place an arrow across the resistor. The bottom of the arrow midpoint of the resistor and just below, the tip of the arrow (draw with an arrow head) just above the resistor. This represents the wiper of the variable resistor.

What are devises run by electrical energy represented as resistors in a circuit?

Do not confuse 'resistance' with 'resistor'. 'Resistance' is a quantity, wheras a 'resistor' is a circuit component. In schematic diagrams, the 'rectangular' (European) or 'zig-zag' (US) circuit symbol represents resistance, not a resistor. The circuit symbol, therefore, is used to represent anyresistive device.
