Everywhere, there are probably 10,000 of them in your house. Look in the TV, radio and computer.
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.
Resistors have resisting power(resists the electric power).Due to having the resistive property, the name resistor is given to such electrical device.
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
A: No matter how many resistor of different value are inserted the current will remain the same for each. The voltage drop will vary with the difference in resistors and i a parallel path is found along the way the current will divide according to the resistors values
dimmer swithces for lights usually contain variable resistors
To read the value of a resistor: Resistors are color coded, you can use the chart found below And how accurate the values of resistors are is their tolerance, also found in the chart
False. The total current in a parallel sub-circuit where all resistors have the same value cannot be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors. In a parallel circuit, the total current depends on the individual resistor values and how they affect the overall resistance of the circuit.
most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.
Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.
Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.
Resistors are like funnels, they restrict the flow of current.
Linear resistors
resistors are used to resist the flow of current in a circuit.......
