it resists the flow of cuurent
Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.
LC filter It is a combination of inductor and capacitor filter. Here an inductor is connected in series and a capacitor is connected in parallel to the load as shown in fig 5.6. As discussed earlier, a series inductor filter will reduce the ripple, when increasing the load current. But in case of a capacitor filter it is reverse that when increasing current the ripple also increases. So a combination of these two filters would make ripple independent of load current. The ripple factor of a chock input filter is given by Since the d.c. resistance of the inductor is very low it allows d.c. current to flow easily through it. The capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c. component passes through it. The capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c components passes through the load resistor RL. Bleeder resistor For optimum functioning, the inductor requires a minimum current to flow through, at all time. When the current falls below this rat, the output will increase sharply and hence the regulation become poor. To keep up the circuit current above this minimum value, a resistor is permanently connected across the filtering capacitor and is called bleeder resistor. This resistor always draws a minimum current even if the external load is removed. It also provides a path for the capacitor to discharge when power supply is turned off.
Because the voltage induced is proportional to the rate of change of current, and the maximum rate of change of current occurs at the point where the current waveform is 'steepest' -i.e. as it passes through zero. So, as the current passes through zero, the corresponding value of induced voltage is maximum, which means the voltage and current waveforms are displaced by a quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees.
It will burn out.
As the circuit must be a closed loop, the current passes through both the source and load. If it was not a closed loop no current could flow anywhere.
When current passes through a resistor, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, which causes the resistor to heat up. This process is known as Joule heating.
What is the current running through resistor four?1 amps..!What is the current running through resistor one? 3 amps...!What is the current running through resistor three? 2amps..!What is the current running through resistor five? 3 amps..!What is the voltage drop running through resistor five? 45 volts...!What is the equivalent resistance through the parallel portion of the circuit? 6 ohmsAnswerA resistor is a conductor, albeit one with a higher resistance than a length of wire, so current passes through it without any problem. The magnitude of the current will, of course, be somewhat lower because of the additional resistance.
A resistor in a circuit works by impeding the flow of electrical current, which helps regulate the amount of current passing through the circuit. This is achieved by converting electrical energy into heat energy as the current passes through the resistor, limiting the flow of electricity.
It will get hot.
No, resistors do not store energy. They dissipate electrical energy in the form of heat when current passes through them.
Resistors don't care whether a d.c. or an a.c. current passes through them. So, yes, they can.
when electric current is passed through acidified water hydrogen gas is released at the cathode..
A resistor gets hot when electricity passes through it because the resistance in the resistor causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is dissipated as the resistor resists the flow of electricity, leading to an increase in temperature.
current in a circuit will flow in a unidirectional manner and when it passes through a resistor in the circuit it opposes its direction
Current can be measured with an ammeter. If you want to calculate it from other values, you will quite often use Ohm's Law (just divide voltage by resistance, if you know the resistance value of the resistor) - or perhaps a combination of Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Laws.
There is a piece of filament in every light bulb, which has so much friction that when the electric current passes through it, heat energy is produced. This heat energy is then converted to light energy.
An element does not split up when a current passes through it. The current causes electrons to flow through the element, but the element remains intact.
