No. Current and voltage are directly proportional to one-another and both are related to resistance by Ohm's law:
V = IR
or
Volts = Current * Resistance
So the current will depend upon the voltage and the circuit resistance by rearranging the above equations:
I = V/R
Meaning that the current will decrease as circuit resistance is increased if the voltage remains constant.
Which is true of a series circuit that has two resistors?A.The resistors are on different branches of the circuit.B.Neither resistor has current flowing through it.C.One resistor has no voltage across it.D.Both resistors have current flowing through them.
Resistors do that when there's a current running through them.
In parallel circuit the current through the resistors are different in values depending upon the values of resistors. But the sum of the currents across all the resistors will be equal to the current through the sourcgsvg bdjasuhafyuhda
The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.
If the two 5 ohm resistors were in series, then the current would be 1.2 amperes. If they were in parallel, then the current would be 4.8 amperes. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by Resistance RSeries = Summation1toN RN RPARALLEL = 1 / Summation1toN (1 / RN)

It reduces the current. As the current travels through the resitors it has some current that is left in the resistor. And
If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.
-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
Resistors do that when there's a current running through them.
In a parallel circuit, the same (supply) voltage will appear across each branch. So, in your example, 12 V will appear across each of the 24-ohm resistors. To find the current through each resistor, then, you simply divide the supply voltage by the value of that resistor. Since the supply current is the sum of the two branch currents, to find the supply current, you simply add together the currents passing through each resistor.
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
In parallel circuit the current through the resistors are different in values depending upon the values of resistors. But the sum of the currents across all the resistors will be equal to the current through the sourcgsvg bdjasuhafyuhda
Resistors have no polarity. The voltage across a resistor is determined by the direction of current flowing through that resistor (and vice versa).
In series, R = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... The current in a series connection will only have 1 path. The current is the same through each resistor
A resistor is an electrical device that limits current in a circuit. It converts electrical energy into thermal energy (heat), and drops voltage. Conductors in an electrical circuit allow current to flow through them will little resistance. The medium in a resistor, the resistive material, is not a good conductor, and will "resist" the current that wants to flow through it. This is how it limits current in a circuit. A resistor is rated according to its resistance and it ability to dissipate heat. It will be rated in ohms of resistance and in watts. A one ohm resistor will allow one amp of current to flow through it when one volt is applied across it. It will generate one watt of thermal energy, which it will have to dissipate as heat.A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as a transistor.
