its the same as normal resistance, so if you wanted to add the resistors when in parallel you would add them by 1/R1 +1/R2=. If they were in series you would simply add.

What type of curcuit measurement is made by placing a meters test leads in parallel with a deenergized component?

Continuity, resistance?


If a 1.5 V battery is connected in a simple curcuit to a light bulb with a resistance of 8 ohms the amount of current flowing through the curcuit is?

V = I * R. 1.5 = 8*IThe current flow is 3/16 Amps.


What is common to both thevenin and norton theorem?

To solve any D.C. circuit by using Thevenin Theorem,First of all load resistance RL is disconnected from the circuit and open circuit voltage across the circuit is calculated (known as Thevenin equivalent voltage)Secondly, the battery is removed by leaving behind its internal resistance. Now we calculate equivqlent resistance of the circuit ( called Thevenin equivalent resistance).Now we connect Thevenin Voltage in series with Equivalent resistance of the circuit and now connect load resistance across this circuit to calculate current flowing through the load resistance.Whereas in the case of using Norton theorem, we again remove the load resistance if any, and then short circuit these open terminals and calculate short circuit current Isc.Second step is same as in Thevenin theorem i.e. remove all sources of emf by replacing their internal resistances and calculate equivqalent resistance of the circuit.Lastly, join short circuit current source in parallel with equivalent resistance of the circuit. Now, we can calculate votage across the resistance which was connected in parallel with Isc.So, by knowing the open circuit voltage, we can calculate current flowing the resistance and on the other hand , by knowing the short curcuit current , we can calculate voltage across the resistance.

What job does electrion reisitance have?

If you are talking about resistance then it is a embedded property of a metal wire. It result in decrease in current in the curcuit.

What are two ways you could alter the wire to increase the resistance in the electric curcuit?

You could increase the length of the wire or decrease its thickness to increase resistance in the electric circuit. Both of these changes will hinder the flow of electrons through the wire, resulting in higher resistance.


What is the totalresistance in a curcuit that contains three 60 ohms resistors connected in a series?

In a series circuit, just add all the individual resistances, to get the total resistance.
