How do you install a resistor in an DC circuit?
It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.
Can a resistor be installed backwards?
Resistors can be installed in any direction in a circuit. It doesn't matter in which direction you are installing a resistor. Resistor will resist the current in both sides of the connection. You can also apply capacitor in any direction for alternating current. Where as if you are concerned with direct current, a direction is needed to apply the connection
Is a resistor bilateral element?
Yes, a resistor has two sides, and furthermore they are interchangeable.
A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source What is the effective resistance of the three resistors?
The effective resistance of those three resistors in parallel is 20 ohms. And it makes no difference what the power source is, or whether they're even connected to a power source at all. As soon as those three resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance is 20 ohms immediately, even if they're still in the drawer.
What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
What type of meter would be connected on both sides to a resistor in a current?
A multimeter set to measure current (in amperes or milliamperes) would be connected in series to the resistor to measure the current flowing through it. The multimeter would be placed in series with the resistor to accurately measure the current passing through it.

Why doesn't current decrease in series resistance circuit though resistance opposes current?
If you add another resistor or just increase the resistance the current will decrease. I think the statement you are talking about means that whatever the current is in the series circuit it will be the same everywhere in that circuit, on both sides of the resistance. The resistance lowers the current in the entire circuit, not just after the resistance.
What is a Parallel Resistance?
Parallel resistance refers to 2 or more resistors where the input sides are connected together and the output sides are connected together. The formula to calculate it is the inverse of the total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the inverses of the individual resistances. 1/R (total) = 1/R (1) + 1/R (2) + 1/R (3) + …
How many sides are there in a cubic meter?
If anything is "cubic" it must have 6 sides
What does it mean to have closed polygons?
All sides are connected and there are no curved sides.
How ammeter is connected in a circuit?
If you would like to measure amps, there are two ways. First, you can splice the wire you'd like to measure the amps of in half, and have the ammeter/multimeter test leads touch each of the wire's sides. Now the circuit will connect up again as if you never cut the cable, and you can measure amps. The easier way is to get a clamp meter, which has a large loop that you can clip cables through and it will measure amps through induction, so you don't have to cut any cables.
What is the area of a square with 12 meter sides?
The area of square is : 144.0
What is the perimeter of a square that has 12 meter sides?
48m
