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)

What is critical resistance of the field circuit of a DC generator?

The value of resistance of shunt field winding beyond which the shunt generator fails to build up its voltage is known as " critical resistance at a given speed it is the maximum field resistance with which the shunt generator excite.

The resistance of the circuit is measured in ohms.


What is Critical resistance of field?

Critical field resistance is the limiting resistance, above which a field will not excite


Is the increase in voltage causes a greater electric resistance in a circuit?

No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit.


How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?

The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.


What is the resistance of the circuit in units of ohms?

The resistance of the circuit is measured in units of ohms.


Why isn't resistance constant?

If measuring resistance of materials or resistors by themselves(not soldered into a circuit board) resistance is constant. If measuring resistance of a circuit then it could fluctuate with the components functioning in the circuit.


Is the sum of the resistance in a parallel circuit always excessds the total resistance in a circuit?

Not sure what you mean. The equivalent (total) resistance in a parallel circuit is less than any individual resistance.


When was The Resistance to Theory created?

The Resistance to Theory was created in 1982.
