Adding more components changes how a resistor works. In a series circuit, resistance goes up, slowing current. In a parallel circuit, resistance drops, letting more current flow. The effect depends on how the components are connected.

What happens when you use a smaller resistor in place of larger one?

as we can deduce from its name, the resistor "resists" to the current (the movement of the electrons) so as the value of the resistor increases, the current flowing through it decreases. so when you use a smaller resistor, the current increases, however the tension between its poles decreases ( due to the voltage divider law). remember that the shortcircuit is due to the small value of the current , so we need always to have a resonable resistance on the circuit..... but not too high because joule losses we'll be more significant !! hope i've been clear :D

When resistors are connected in series then what happens to the watt?

Resistors are rated in wattage so the lowest wattage rating will be the wattage of the series circuit. It will be able to handle that power any more and the lowest wattage resistor could be damaged and fail.Another AnswerWhen two or more resistors are connected in series, the resistor with the lowest resistance will operate at the highest power. If the power developed by a resistor exceeds its rated power, then the resistor may burn out.

What is the lifespan of a resistor?

A resistor doesn't deteriorate with age, and has no particular 'life-span', as long as it's used properly. -- A resistor in a box on the shelf, or in a circuit where it stays cool, will last indefinitely. -- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate enough power to make it hot may change its resistance value permanently, but will continue to operate. -- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate even more than that, to a ridiculous extreme, may melt or explode. When that happens, it's the end of the resistor's life-span. But it wasn't the resistor's fault.


What is the voltage drop through resistor 1?

There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You don't state the value of resistor 1, nor do you state how it is connected in the circuit, nor do you state the value of the other components in the circuit. Please restate the question, giving more details.


How to add a capacitor and resistor in parallel?

To add a capacitor and resistor in parallel, simply connect one terminal of the capacitor to one terminal of the resistor, and then connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the other terminal of the resistor. This creates a parallel circuit where both components share the same voltage.
