How can you define power dissipation in a resistor in series or parallel circuit?

∙ 13y ago
Power dissipation in a resistor, or any other type of load, for that matter, is measured in watts and calculated as volts times amperes. It does not matter if the resistor is in a series or a parallel circuit, so long as the volts and amperes in the calculation is for that one resistor.
Obviously, volts and amperes is distributed amongst the components of a circuit, and series vs parallel can have a significant affect on that distribution, so you will need to calculate or measure them on a case by case basis.

Define zero ohm resistor.?
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 is define as twice the maximum symetrical short circuit current.
How do you define transistor biasing?

Define generator short circuit ratio?
Checked Stephen J. Chapman's Electric Machinery Fundamentals page 287. It says: Short Circuit Ratio (SCR) for the synchronous generator is the ratio of the field current required for the rated voltage at OPEN circuit to the field current require for the rated armature current at SHORT circuit.
What is an electrical isolator?
Something that doesn't let electricity throughAnswerAn isolator (UK terminology) or disconnector (US terminology) is a switch used to isolate a section of a circuit from any energised conductors, by presenting a visible break in the circuit. Isolators are not designed to break load currents (unless fitted with optional arc-breaking feature) or to break fault currents. In high-voltage systems, isolators are used in conjunction with circuit breakers -with the isolators opened after a circuit breaker has opened the circuit, and closed before the circuit breaker closes the circuit. For example, before one can perform maintenance work on, say, a high-voltage circuit breaker, the following sequence must be followed:the circuit breaker is opened, breaking the circuit.isolators located on either side of the circuit breaker are opened, presenting a visible break between the isolator and energised lines.temporary earth (ground) connections are applied to each side of the circuit breaker.barriers and warning signs are erected around the circuit breaker to define the permitted work area.a permit to work card, listing the work to be performed, and any potential hazards, is issued to the personnel who are to maintain the circuit breaker.
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.

Is a switch a resistor?
It could act as one when the circuit is closed, but when the circuit is open, I believe you would define the air as the thing resisting current. In basic circuit problems the switch usually doesn't have any resistance of its own (ie as negligible as the resistance in a wire, so it is ignored).
What is the difference between a fixed resistor and a variable resistor?
its the colour of the fixed and the variable we define it by its power and name

Line, plane
Will the circuit be completed when Jesus comes according to Jehovah's Witnesses?
The word 'circuit' is not a Biblical word, so you will need to define what you mean by circuit.
Bases of a trapezoid are always parallel?
Depends on what you define the "base" as. A trapezoid always has two parallel bases, by definition. Hope this helps ! :)
