Can you use a battery to make electricity?

make a electric circuit,by using resistors,cll then electricity is produced.


Why do you use resistor in electronics?

we use resistors to offer opposition to the flow of electric current. Resistors absorbs power from the circuit and convert it into heat that is why they are normally rated for the maximum amount of power that they can salfely handle


Does an electric circuit have a beaker?

No, an electric circuit does not have a beaker. A beaker is a container used for holding liquids, whereas an electric circuit consists of components like wires, batteries, resistors, and switches that allow electricity to flow in a specific path.


What resistors do in oscillator circuit?

The same thing they do in every circuit, resist the flow of electricity. That being said there are Many types of ossilators, and they can use resistors for many purposes.


Why do you use resistors and capacitors in any electronic circuit?

because their effects are desired to make the circuit work


Are there diagonal resistors in an electric circuit?

I must tell you that I've been building, troubleshooting, and studying electronics (in that order) for more than a half century, and this is the first time I have ever encountered the concept of a "diagonal resistor". I really should let this question pass, because I really have no idea what it means. But I'm somehow drawn to it. At the frequencies of devices that even use discrete resistors any more, the physical position and orientation of the resistors has no effect on their electrical characteristics or performance in the circuit. If the position mattered, then there would be a big red "THIS END UP" arrow on every transistor radio and boombox. And if, by chance, you're referring to the presentation of resistors on electrical schematic diagrams, please relax. The arrangement of the components and their symbols on the schematic is completely a matter of making a clear drawing, and has absolutely no relationship to their physical arrangement in the circuit when it's constructed. At least not until you get into microwave devices, and at that point, trust me, you and I would not even recognize a resistor in the circuit if we were looking at one.

What is a parilel circuit?

A parallel circuit is one where the elements in question are connected "side-by-side". The term is generally use to contrast against a series circuit where the elements are connected "end-to-end". As an example take two resistors and arbitrarily label the leads "A" and "B". If you connect the two resistors to each other such that A on one is connected to A on the other and B on the one is connected to B on the other, you have created a parallel connection of the two resistors.


How calculated the value of resistor that is to be used in particular circuit?

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


Why do you use resistors and capacitors in a circuit?

resistors and capacitors are used in order to create a path for the current , for the resistivity of the current , for the storage of the current.AnswerResistors don't just 'resist' electric current, they create a predictable change in voltage (electric potential) from one side to the other, so they can be used to adjust the expected voltage level at each point in a circuit.In an electric circuit with an unchanging current and voltage, capacitors simply store current and wait for something to change.In the more common electronic case of a circuit with voltage fluctuations, each capacitor is effectively a high-pass filter -- it permits quickly-fluctuating voltages to pass through, but reduces or stops slowly-fluctuating voltages.
