What is the purpose of resistance?
Resistance doesn't have a 'purpose'; it exists whether you want it or not. You can modify it by adding more resistance in series or in parallel, but you can't avoid it!
How do you find resistance in a parallel circuit?
resistance inparallel decrease in value proportionally two resistance can be calculated as R1XR2/SUM OF R1+R2. many values can be calculated as a fraction 1/r+1/r2+1/3 ....and take the total sum reciprocal
How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?
The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.
When one load is removed from a parallel circuit the total resistance decreases?
No, the total resistance increases.
Two resistors of 400 Ohm and 600 Ohm are in parallel What is the equivalent resistance?
Use the general equation for resistance in parallel: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
What is the ratio of equivalent resistance of series and parallel combination of n equal resistance to the equivalent resistance on parallel combination?
1
A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?
The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.
Determine and draw the equivalent resistances when 1 ohm in parallel with 2 ohm?
The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is 2/3 ohm.
How is resistivity connected to resistance?
Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.
What is law of combination of resistors?
The resistance of two or more resistors in series is the sum of their resistances. RS = sumI=1,N (RI) The resistance of two or more resistors in parallel is the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistances. This is the same as saying that the conductance of two or more resistors in parallel is the sum of their conductances. RP = 1 / sumI=1,N (1/RI)
What is the purpose of resistance?
Resistance doesn't have a 'purpose'; it exists whether you want it or not. You can modify it by adding more resistance in series or in parallel, but you can't avoid it!
In any parallel circuit within a combination circuit the greater current will flow through the?
lowest resistance
How does increasing the number of cells in a parallel circuit affect the current?
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
When a battery is connected across a high resistance in parallel with a low resistance more power is dissapited in the low resistance Is this statement true or false?
true
Three resistances each of 4 ohm are connected to form a triangle the resistance between any two terminals is?
That's like having a series combination of 4 + 4 ohms, in parallel with another resistance of 4 ohms. Calculate the series resistance, then use the parallel formula to combine it with the third resistance.
What is a resistor bank?
In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.
How do you find resistance in a parallel circuit?
resistance inparallel decrease in value proportionally two resistance can be calculated as R1XR2/SUM OF R1+R2. many values can be calculated as a fraction 1/r+1/r2+1/3 ....and take the total sum reciprocal
