How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?
If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).

How does an integrated circuit work?
Integrated circuit also called as chips or microchips is a miniaturized electronic circuit made in a thin substrate of semiconductor materials. It consists mainly of semiconductors and passive components of the circuit.
What is a surge resistor?
A surge resistor is a resistor installed in a circuit to prevent a "surge" when conditions arise where a surge might occur. That might be a bit wordy, but that's the answer. Let's look at an instance where a surge resistor is used and see how it works. There are a number instances where energizing a circuit is followed by a surge of current. Like almost all the time. When that circuit "comes on" after the switch is flipped, current is flowing. And sometimes we need to place a resistor in series with the component or components that want to draw a ton of current on startup. We can look at a component that might just do that. Capacitors (caps) are sometimes fitted with something that limits a big shot of current when a circuit is energized. Caps, you recall, begin operation in the circuit of a modern equipment uncharged, and when these caps are first "seen" by the voltage source at the moment it's turned on, they look like a short circuit. Lots of current may want to flow. Jumping ahead, the cap sits in the operating circuit fat, dumb and happy "using" only a little current after things are going. But at startup, it needs to be checked to prevent it from "sucking up" (or sinking) too much current and overloading the supply. The surge resistor is on the job each time the circuit is energized. There are other applications for a surge resistor, but the purpose is the same - prevent "too much current" from flowing at a given moment so the circuit can transition into a "normal operating mode" (where current flow is more modest). The surge resistor is similar to a so-called current limiting (or, perhaps, ballast) resistor, but the name applied to the resistor in question might have more to do with the specific application.
What is the voltage drop through a resistor of 6 ohms and 2 amps?
12 volts...! The voltage drop across a 2 ohm resistor depends on the current flowing through it. As voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), if 1/2 amp is flowing through your 2 ohm resistor, 1/2 times 2 = 1 volt. If 1 amp is flowing through your 2 ohm resistor, 1 times 2 = 2 amps. Piece of cake. If the two ohm resistor is the only component in the circuit, it will drop whatever the applied voltage is. Put a 2 ohm resistor across a 6 volt battery, it drops 6 volts. If you put your 2 ohm resistor across a 9 volt battery, it drops 9 volts. Another way to say voltage drop may help. The voltage drop across a resistor is the voltage it "feels" when in a circuit. And that last couple of examples says that very well. In a circuit where a given resistor is the only component, it drops all the voltage in the circuit. It "feels" all the voltage in the circuit. In a circuit where there are 2 resistors of equal value in series, each one drops or "feels" half of the applied voltage. (The sum of the voltage drops equals the applied voltage.) As you work more with simple circuits using resistors in different arrangements with a given voltage source, try thinking of the voltage drop of a resistor as the voltage it "feels" when the circuit is energized.
What work resistor?
when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.
Can you use a 91ohm resistor in place of 100ohm resistor?
It depends on where you are going to use this resistor and what its application going to be. If the circuit you are using can tolerate this then you are fine.
Which device controls the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
Flow of electricity in a circuit is controlled by using 'resistor'.
What is need of capacitor and resistor in circuit?
because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.
How do you test electronic circuit board components?
By using a multimeter
What is the difference between an electronic device and an electronic circuit?
An electronic circuit is one or more loops around which electrical current can flow as it passes through one or more electronic components.An electronic device is any device designed to perform a specific useful function that is implemented largely using electronic circuits.Note: it is possible to design and build an electronic circuit that does nothing useful, it is not possible to design and build an electronic device that does nothing useful (the very reason for designing and building electronic devices is to create a thing having a useful function).
Can you use electronic circuit as a load?
If you are just using the load to pull a small amount of current, then yes a electronic circuit can be used for that. If you want a resistive load to measure voltage drop or something similar, then no an electronic circuit will usually not work for that.
What is the function of a variable resister in an electrical circuit?
A variable resistor usually has three terminals, one of which is connected to the 'wiper' by which means its resistance is measured. By using all three terminals, we can control the potential difference in a circuit. When used in this way, we call the variable resistor a 'potentiometer'. By using two of the three terminals, one of which must be connected to the variable wiper, we can control the current passing through circuit. When used in this way, we call the variable resistor a 'rheostat'.

Introduction of clap switch?
This circuit can switch on and off light a fan or a radio etc;by the sound of a clap This circuit is constructed using basic electronic component like resistor transistor relay transformer capacitor .This circuit turns on light for the first clap . the light turns on till the next clap .for the next clap turns off this circuit works with 12v voltage . therefore a step-cown transformer 12v/300ma is employed. The working of the circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor . switching the nature of transistor and relay as an electronic switch.
