Current flow would be the same through the resistor, since it's in series, but the voltage would be slightly reduced based on the resistance.

If you have 2 resistors in parallel, the current will divide through each resistor, and the voltage stays the same.

How does current change through a resistor?

When an electric current flows through a resistor, the resistor resists the flow of the current, causing a decrease in the current. This decrease in current is proportional to the resistance of the resistor, as described by Ohm's Law.


Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?

Current flows through a resistor, not across it.


Why is a resistor positioned before the transistor?

It is done in order to protect the transistor from the heavy currents flowing (resistor reduces current flow) into its terminals.


How do you install a resistor in an DC circuit?

It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.


A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?

A resistor.


How does a resistor affect the flow of electricity in a circuit: does a resistor reduce voltage or current?

A resistor affects the flow of electricity in a circuit by reducing the current that flows through it. This reduction in current leads to a decrease in voltage across the resistor.


Is current is drop when it flowing through the resistor?

Current flows in loops, voltage drops across elements. With relation to current, what flows in, must flow out, so no, current is not dropped across a resistor, it flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across the resistor.


What is a ballast resistor?

A ballast resistor is an electrical resistor whose resistance varies with the current passing through it, thus maintaining a constant current.


Basic concept of resistor?

resistor is to resists the flow of current


Why a inductor is used in series before diode instead of resistor?

An inductor will supply better current source.


What is the current drop across the resistor?

The correct question is what is the voltage drop across a resistor or the current flowing through the resistor using Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance


Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?

A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
