It shortens
If at battery,parallel circuit shorts then equivalent resistance of circuit becomes approximately 0 Ohms,and therefore as current follows low resistance path infinite amount of current due to low resistance will flow through the wire so,entire parallel circuit will short out,but wire will burn and battery may get damaged. Name:Sumit Karnik.
resistance is directly proportional to wire length and inversely proportional to wire cross-sectional area. In other words, If the wire length is doubled, the resistance is doubled too. If the wire diameter is doubled, the resistance will reduce to 1/4 of the original resistance.
The symbol for a wire is simply a line between circuit elements. The symbol for a resistor is a squiggly line. The related link goes directly to a picture of the symbol.
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
Depending on the voltage potential that the wire is carrying, an insulation breakdown could lead to a short circuit. If this condition occurs then the circuits over current protection should trip the circuit off line.
Resistance is increased so the light will be dimmer.
If a longer wire is used to replace the filament, the resistance in the circuit will increase due to the longer length of the wire. This increase in resistance will cause a decrease in current flowing through the circuit, which can affect the overall performance of the system.
The voltage of the battery, and the resistance of the circuit (including the resistance of the wire and the internal resistance of the battery).
If you are talking about the total resistance in a circuit , it depends on the components in the circuit and the location of the cut.If you are talking about a single wire, the resistance becomes infinite (or close to it) when the wire is cut.
Factors that contribute to the resistance to the flow of electricity in a circuit include the material the wire is made of, the length and thickness of the wire, and the temperature of the wire.
If a filament is replaced by a thicker wire, the resistance of the circuit will decrease. Thicker wires have lower resistance because they offer less resistance to the flow of electric current compared to thinner wires of the same material and length.
The three main factors that affect resistance in a circuit are the material the wire is made of, the length of the wire, and the cross-sectional area of the wire. Other factors, such as temperature and temperature coefficient of resistance, can also impact resistance.
Increasing the length of wire in a series circuit increases the overall resistance in the circuit, which reduces the current flowing through the circuit. This results in a decrease in the brightness of any connected bulbs or the speed of any connected motors, as the components receive less energy due to the increased resistance.
Resistance in a circuit is its ohmic value of the circuit. It is comprised of all of the devices and components that make up the circuit. This also includes the wire that carries the voltage to the load of the circuit.
Material that makes up the wire, length of wire, diameter of wire, and temperature of wire
Use thicker wire. Doubling the diameter gives one quarter the resistance.
The circuit stops working because of the short circuit
