Oh, VERY MANY! For example, a cord wrapped with rubber would be quite deadly. A light bulb that was incandescent would probably not produce light at all.

What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?

a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()


What is critical resistance in circuit theory?

With respect to an RLC circuit, the critical resistance is the resistance which would critically dampen the circuit. This means a resistance lower than the critical resistance would create an under-damped situation, and higher than the critical resistance would create an over-damped situation. An underdamped circuit will ocillate, an overdamped circuit will decay exponentially over a long period of time. The critically damped circuit will immediately decay to zero (time dependent on the values of the circuit elements)


Why would never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?

If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.


Is resistance box connected in series or parallel?

It depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want to decrease the resistance in a circuit, you would place the box in parallel to some other resistor. If you want to increase the resistance in a circuit, you would place the box in series.


Is resistance in a series circuit equal to the largest resistor in the series?

No. The resistance in a series circuit is all the resistor values added together. eg. If two resistors were in a circuit, one was 10 ohms and the other was 30 ohms, the resistance in the circuit would be 30 ohms. Hope this helps!

What is the resistance in this circuit?

You would have to specify the circuit.


Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?

As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.

What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?

If a bulb with higher resistance is used in a simple circuit, the total resistance in the circuit would increase. According to Ohm's Law (V=IR), with an increase in resistance, the current in the circuit would decrease since the voltage supplied remains constant.


Why doesn't LC circuit exist?

even though a resistance is not connected in a circuit, it would practically have small resistance due to its components.so practically a LC circuit dosent exist..only a RLC circuit exists

Placing a voltmeter into a circuit will raise the circuit resistance?

Usually a volt meter is placed across a component to measure the voltage drop across that component. Doing this places the volt meter resistance in parallel with that component's resistance, which will always lower the total resistance. Since the volt meter resistance is usually very large relative to the resistance of the element being measured, the total resistance does not change significantly. The formula for total resistance of two parallel elements is: Rtot = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2), as R1 (the volt meter) >> R2, Rtot ~= (R1*R2) / (R1) = R2 If a volt meter is placed into a circuit instead of around an element of that circuit, it will raise the resistance of the circuit, load the circuit with, and interrupt "normal" operation of the circuit (normal operation = how things would be without the meter in place). More importantly, the volt meter would then be measuring the voltage developped across itself (instead of an element of the circuit), which is not the point of this tool / this would be a misapplication of a volt meter.

What circuit property holds back the movement of electrons?

That would be resistance.


A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms What is the current flow in the circuit?

A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms. The current flow in the circuit is 100v/1000ohms which would equal .1.
