What else can I help you with?
In parallel circuit-what happens to the total resistance if one branch opens-Provide an example?
Increases
What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the current divides when it comes to a junction. Part of the current flows through one branch and the other part flows through the other.When the two branches have the same resistance, the same current flows through each branch.When the two branches have different resistances, a bigger current flows through the branch with the smaller resistance - it's just easier this way!Hope i helped ;)
When a dead short occur what happens to circuit resistance?
The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.
What happens if you shorten the resistance wire in a circuit?
It shortens
What happens to the current when more resistors are added in series?
Current decreasesWhen voltage remains constant and resistance increases the current in the circuit will reduce.More informationV=IRwhere V is voltage,I is current andR is resistance.From the above equation,R=V/I, and hence resistance is indirectly proportional to current.Therefore, an increase in resistance would have the effect of decreased current.NB: this holds true only as long as the voltage remains constant.Another opinionHowever, this is only true in the case of a circuit connected in series.When circuits are connected in parallel, the opposite happens. If there is an increase in the amount of resistors in parallel, the total resistance of the circuit then decreases and the current increases subsequently.Yet another viewNo, that's not stated right.If more resistors are added in parallel - so that the circuit's overall total resistance decreases and its total current increases - that is NOT in any way the opposite of what this question is asking about...Let's make this crystal clear, so that there is no confusion: "an increase in the amount of resistors" is NOT the same as "an increase in resistance".So a parallel circuit behaves EXACTLY the same as a series circuit: if its overall resistance increases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit decreases AND if its overall resistance decreases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit increases.Actually, the second opinion is correctIn a parallel circuit, there are more branches to allow electrons back to the power supply, so current increases. With more resistors in a circuit, the overall resistance in a parallel circuit DECREASES.In a series circuit, current is the same throughout. So if more resistors are added, resistance INCREASES and so current DECREASES.
What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.
When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit what happens to the total resistance of the circuit?
When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit, the total resistance of the circuit decreases. This is because in a parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. More paths for current to flow mean less overall resistance in the circuit.
What happens to resistance when resistors are wired in parallel delta circuit?
What do you mean by a 'parallel delta' circuit -is there such a connection.
What happens when a part of a parallel circuit is disconnected?
current decreases and resistance increases
What happens if the resistance is too big in a citcuit?
If the resistances to big in any circuit the circuit will become increasingly harder and eventually will break the circuit. An example of this is when the filament in an incandescent lightbulb burns out.
What happens to carbon resistors in parallel?
The resistance R of two or more resistances in parallel is given by: R = 1/(the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances). I.e. if each resistor be designated as r(number), then 1/R = 1/r1 + 1/r2 + ... + 1/rn The material from which the components are made is not important in the formula, but may be significant to specific circuit design criteria.
In parallel circuit-what happens to the total resistance if one branch opens-Provide an example?
Increases
Why a circuit will produce a loading effect?
This happens because the total parallel resistance is lower than the individual resistors that make up the group of parallel resistors. When you add another parallel load, the resistance of that parallel group lowers and as result increases the current for the rest of the circuit.
What happens when resistors are interconnected in a circuit?
The net resistance can be found out using the algebraic sums f series and parallel connections. When there is no current flowing in the circuit the net resistance is infinite.
What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the current divides when it comes to a junction. Part of the current flows through one branch and the other part flows through the other.When the two branches have the same resistance, the same current flows through each branch.When the two branches have different resistances, a bigger current flows through the branch with the smaller resistance - it's just easier this way!Hope i helped ;)
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
The supply voltage in a parallel circuit remains the same regardless of the number of additional resistors connected. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same as the supply voltage. Adding more resistors in parallel will increase the total current drawn from the supply.
What changes occur in the total resistance of a circuit as additional resistances are added in parallel?
The total resistance of the circuit increases. hence the new resistance after adding the resistance will be new resistance = old resistance + added Resistance There is a small mistake in the question. The second word is 'changes' not 'charges'
