Resistors can be quite small and most are cylindrical. The printing would be quite small and not only hard to read, but also hard to print a fine text onto them.
Having said that, some old Russian equipment does have the value printed on the resistors.
So, it is easier, cheaper and simpler, to use a colour coded banding system.

The sum of currents across the resistors equals the currents through the source in which type of circuit?

In parallel circuit the current through the resistors are different in values depending upon the values of resistors. But the sum of the currents across all the resistors will be equal to the current through the sourcgsvg bdjasuhafyuhda


How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical 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.


What is the total resistance of twelve 5.6 ohms resistors in a row?

If they are in series, you need to add the resistance values.


Why are the measured values of resistors different from the nominal values?

All electronic components have a tolerance value in their specification. For resistors, it is specified as a plus or minus tolerance. Typical ranges are 5%, 10%, and 20%, though you can get 1% and 0.1% (matched set) resistors if you want to pay the price. In addition, each measurement has systematic and random error associated with it. All of this must be considered when measuring the impedance of a resistor.


What remains constant in series circuit?

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

Why are fixed resistors' values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?

Fixed resistors use color bands to indicate their values because this method allows for easy identification of resistance values without taking up much space on the small components. The color coding system is standardized, enabling quick reading and reducing the risk of misinterpretation that can occur with printed numbers, especially in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, the bands are durable and resistant to wear, ensuring that the values remain visible over time.


Why experimental calculations shoul use measured values of resistors rather than color coded values?

Experimental calculations should use measured values of resistors, because actual resistors can deviate slightly from their color-coded values due to manufacturing tolerances. Using measured values ensures more accurate results in experiments where resistor values play a critical role.
