A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance.

My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.

It means the circuit has no resistance to the passage of electricity.

By the way this is not possible outside of a laboratory dealing with super conductors.

How do you define zero ohm resistor?

A zero ohm resistor is a piece of wire with a resistor body. It is essentially a jumper. It is useful when a jumper is need on a printed circuit board that is assembled by automated machinery, because the automated machinery can handle resistor insertion far easier than a jumper wire. The color coding on a zero ohm resistor is one single black band.


Ism there 0 ohm resister available in market then its colour coding what?

Why would you buy something that does absolutely nothing? If you need a "zero ohm resistor", just don't connect any resistor at all.Why would you buy something that does absolutely nothing?

Does an open resistor measure 0 ohms?

No, an open resistor has a value of infinity. An open resistor typically will measure over 900 Megohms. A zero ohm resistor is exactly that, and will measure zero ohms. They are typically surface-mount devices.


A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source. What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?

The current would be about 20 volts.

What is the benefit of using zero ohm resistor?

A: Extremely important since at the level there is infinite current available at zero volts, In reality it can never be ac hived but it can be assumed for consideration Each piece of hookup wire can be thought of as a zero-ohm resistor. In fact even the hookup wire has resistance but it's so small it it can be neglected.
