V=IR

you are adding in parallel, so V is non-zero, because R is positive, I must have the same sign as V. Therefore your current will increase.

What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?

the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.


Will putting another resistorin parallel raise or lower the total resistors in circuit?

Placing another resistor in parallel to an existing resistor will lower the total resistance in the circuit. RParallel = 1 / Summationi=1toN (1 / Ri)


How does adding a resistor to an electric circuit affect the current flow?

Adding a resistor to an electric circuit reduces the current flow by impeding the flow of electrons. The resistor increases the resistance in the circuit, which in turn decreases the amount of current that can pass through.


Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?

A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.

If the resistance in the circuit is increased what will happen to the current and voltage?

* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.


What happen to current when paralle resistor added?

For the individual resistor, the current is constant, regardless of any other resister that's attached to it in parallel. The current that results from all the resistors combined decreases as the resistance of one or more of the resistors increases.


How to add a capacitor and resistor in parallel?

To add a capacitor and resistor in parallel, simply connect one terminal of the capacitor to one terminal of the resistor, and then connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the other terminal of the resistor. This creates a parallel circuit where both components share the same voltage.


Why resistor should disconnected from the circuit when measured the value of resistor?

if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.


How do resistors act in parallel?

Parallel resistors act like a resistor smaller than the smallest parallel resistor. Calculate as 1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3...)


When the resistor removed from a parallel connection of the circuit whether the resistance increase or decrease?

if we remove a resistor from the parallel connection the effective resistance value will be increased.


What resistance must be connected in parallel to 6.0-ohm resistor to reduce the combined resistance to 15-ohm?

No such resistor exists. Any resistor placed in parallel with a 6.0 ohm resistor is going to reduce the combined resistance below 6.0 ohms.
