What is the total resistance of a circuit that contains two 100 resistors connected in paralle?
50 ohms
A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices ana a generator for providing the electromotive force the resistance of the first device is 12 ohms the resistance of the second device is 4?
According to Ohm's law of resistance in parallel, 1/RT=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3... so 1/RT=1/12+1/4=1/12+3/12=4/12=1/3 and 1/(1/3)=3.The total resistance of the two devices is 3.There is a simpler special case formula for two resistances in parallel:* RTot = (R1R2) / (R1 + R2) In this case this it would give us (12 x 4) / (12 + 4), or 48 / 16 which equals 3 ohms.3 ohms
Is it correct to say that a bulb in a circuit is a resistor?
Yes it is. The filament in a standard incandescent bulb is a type of resistor. An incandescent light bulb contains tungsten which reduces electricity and converts electricity to heat and light. All incandescent bulbs are resistors, but only a fraction of resistors are bulbs. If you want to see if a bulb is a resistor, try adding another bulb in series without changing the voltage. Both bulbs will be very dim. Another way to test this is to get a multimeter and set the meter to the resistance setting. If you get any value other than zero, then it is functioning as a resistor.
Which one of the following statements is true concerning an ac circuit that contains both resistance an inductance?
When an AC circuit contains both resistance and inductance the current and voltage will be in phase. This means having waveforms that are of the same frequency and that pass through corresponding value.
Explain thevenin's theorem?
Thévenin's theorem for linear electrical networks states that any combination of voltage sources, current sources, and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source V and a single series resistor R #wikipediaactually i will explain you the way to solve problems applying this theorem consider a large network and in that network assume any resistance R about which you are asked o find the current and voltage-drop. now follow the steps below carefully1. remove the specific resistor from the circuit (open the resistor) and find the voltage across both the points(or even parallel to both the points) where the resistor is opened this is called VTH (this is called thevenin's voltage).Also dont forget to open the current sources if present.2. now to calculate the effective resistance as seen from the opened resistor short all the voltage sources and open all the current sources. and assume an arbitrary voltage V in the place of the opened resistor find current through the branch by mesh analysis and the ratio of voltage and current gives you the effective resistance fo the circuit as seen from the opened resistor. this is called Rth (thevenin resistance).now , after getting the values of VTH,RTH construct a circuit in which the given resistance R and RTH arein series with the voltage source VTH , and the so called found current is the current flowing through R in the actual circuit
What is the total resistance of a circuit that contains two 100 resistors connected in paralle?
50 ohms
What is the total resistance in a circuit that contains three 60 resistors connected in series?
The total effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistances.Three 60-ohm resistors in series have a total effective resistance of (60 + 60 + 60) = 180 ohms.
Which is the total resistance of a circuit that contains twenty 100 ohms resistors connected in parallel?
When resistors of the same value are wired in parallel, the total equivalent resistance (ie the value of one resistor that acts identically to the group of parallel resistors) is equal to the value of the resistors divided by the number of resistors. For example, two 10 ohm resistors in parallel give an equivalent resistance of 10/2=5Ohms. Three 60 ohm resistors in parallel give a total equivalent resistance of 60/3 = 20Ohms. In your case, four 200 Ohm resistors in parallel give 200/4 = 50 Ohms total.
If a circuit contains 3-ohm resistance in a series what is the equivalent resistance of combination?
Equation for Equivalent Resistance in Series isReq= R1+R2+R3+...........If each resistor is equal to 3OhmsthenReq= R1+R2+R3Req=3+3+3Req=9 OhmsThe Equivalent resistance is 9 Ohms.
What is a resistor bank?
In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.
What is the totalresistance in a curcuit that contains three 60 ohms resistors connected in a series?
In a series circuit, just add all the individual resistances, to get the total resistance.
What is the total resistance in a circuit that contains three 60 ohms resistors connected in a series?
The total effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistances.Three 60-ohm resistors in series have a total effective resistance of (60 + 60 + 60) = 180 ohms.
A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.
What is the total resistance of a series circuit that contains two resistors having values 28 ohms and 56 ohms?
28 + 56 = 84 ohms
What effect does adding devices have on the resistance of a series circuit?
Many circuits have safety devices such as fuse. A fuse contains a substance that melts if it gets hot. if a short circuit happens, the heat causes the fuse to melt. The circuit is broken. because the current stops ,no damage is done.
A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance of the first device is 12 ohms the resistance of the second device is 4?
The generator sees a resistive load of 3.0 ohms.
A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel if the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resistance of the other device is 4 ohms the total resistance of the two devi?
The net effective resistance of the parallel devices is the reciprocal of (1/12 + 1/4). Hence 3 ohms.=============================================(Which actually looks strangely similar to the first answer above.Could it be just coincidence ? I wonder . . . )
