What is the function of a sensistor?

the sensistor functions as a temperature sensitive resistor with a positive coefficient of temperature.used for temperature compensation in various circuits


Why resistor should disconnected from the circuit when measured the value of resistor?

if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.


What is the relation between the size of the resistor and its value?

There is no relation between the resistor's ohms value and its size. The power of the resistor can be seen by its size. If the power is too small, the resistor can be destroyed.


A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source. What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?

The current would be about 20 volts.


Define zero ohm resistor.?

A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance. My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.

How do you repair the blower resister on a 2005 Ford Fiesta?

To repair the blower resistor on a 2005 Ford Fiesta, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Locate the blower resistor, typically found near the blower motor under the dashboard on the passenger side. Remove the screws holding the resistor in place, disconnect the wiring harness, and replace it with a new resistor. Reassemble everything and reconnect the battery to test if the blower functions correctly.
