Does a resistor only decrease current in a circuit?
A resistor does not only decrease current in a circuit it can also reduce tension(voltage) if connected in series.
A 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor What is the current in the circuit?
If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in series, the current in the circuit is 1.0 amperes. If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in parallel, the current in the circuit is 0.5 amperes.
How do you install a resistor in an DC circuit?
It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.
How is an multimeter connected to take a measure?
Multimetres are generaly used to measure the following quantities. Voltage: multimeter is connected in parallel with the Load; Current: multimeter is connected in series with Load; Resistance: the resistor must be taken out of the circuit first, then, the probes from the multimeter are connected across the resistor,
What does the variable resistor do in a circuit?
It is used to vary the voltage/current flow in a circuit.
A circuit has a battery connected to resistor 1 and resistor 1 is connected to resistor 2 which is then connected back to the battery what can be said about this circuit?
This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.

What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?
-- 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.
Where do you use the current limiting resistor?
in a flashing led circuit connected in series
What happens when more than one resistor is connected to a circuit?
the current flowing in will be low
How does the behavior of a circuit change when a capacitor and resistor are connected in parallel?
When a capacitor and resistor are connected in parallel in a circuit, the behavior changes in that the capacitor stores and releases electrical energy while the resistor controls the flow of current. This combination can affect the overall impedance and time constant of the circuit, leading to changes in the voltage and current characteristics.
What is the relationship between resistance and current in a resistive circuit?
:) It's connected together

What is the current in a 12-volt circuit with a 6-ohm resistor connected series?
2 A (amperes)
What is the relationship between resistors connected in series and the flow of current through them?
When resistors are connected in series, the flow of current through them is the same. This means that the current passing through each resistor is equal, as it has to pass through each resistor in the series circuit.
A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?
A resistor.
