when you think of electricity and resistance think of it as water in a river and rocks in a river. The water being the electricity and the rocks being the resistance. when water in a river flows and then come across rocks that block the water from flowing constantly, it slows down the water. therefore when electricity is flowing through a circuit with resistance, when it hits the resistors it slows the flow of electricity.
What else can I help you with?
Why the resistor does not have polarity?
they do not have any electrical property that is polarity sensitive
Resistors allow electrical energy to be changed to other forms of?
All a resistor does is use electrical energy, converting it to heat. so a 10 ohm resistor with 5 volts across it will dissipate 2.5 watts. this will come out as heat, ie, the resistor will get hot.
What component resists flow of current in an electrical circuit?
transistor
What happens if you remove emitter resistor in RCcoupled amplifier?
what happens if we remove Rc in RC coupled amplifier
What is a shunt resistor used for?
A shunt resistor is used to carry a majority of the electrical current away from the outlet. This causes the risks of electric shock to be down significantly, but still not completely gone.
Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
Who invented the resistor?
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor.
What is a resistor What does it do in a circuit?
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that limits the current flowing in electrical or electronic circuits.
How does a resistor reduce voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces voltage in an electrical circuit by converting some of the electrical energy into heat. This process slows down the flow of electricity, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
When and by who were resistors made?
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor. In June 1959, he got the first patent for the wire precision resistor and in June 1965, he got his patent for the electrical resistor.
What is the name for an electrical load that converts electrical energy into heat energy?
The name for an electrical load that converts electrical energy into heat energy is a resistor. Resistor works by resisting the flow of electricity through a circuit, which in turn generates heat as a byproduct.
What are the colors of a resistor and why are they there?
There are many colours for resistor rings but the reason that we have them is to help the resistor reduce the electrical current that is passing through.
Is a battery a resistor if not what is?
No, a battery is not a resistor. A battery provides electrical energy, while a resistor is a component that restricts the flow of current in a circuit.
Resistor get hot when electrical charge flows through it?
When an electrical charge flows through a resistor, some of the electrical energy is converted into heat due to the resistance of the material. This heat causes the resistor to get hot, and the temperature increase is proportional to the amount of current flowing through it and the resistance of the resistor. If too much heat is generated, the resistor may be damaged or experience a change in resistance.
Does a resistor use electrical energy as it interferes with the flow of charge?
Yes, a resistor converts electrical energy into heat as it interferes with the flow of charge. This energy is dissipated in the form of heat due to the resistance of the resistor material.
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
