It is not necessary for anything about them to be the same.
All that is necessary is that they create the desired equivalent resistor, having the correct resistance and power dissipation rating without overstressing either resistor.
What else can I help you with?
When batteries are connected in parallel what happened with their voltage?
The voltage remains the same.
What happens to the current as the resistor approches infinty?
Most resistors are linear, or 'ohmic', devices -which means that they obey Ohm's Law. So the ratio of voltage to current remains constant for variations in voltage. In other words, their resistance remains constant -providing their power rating isn't exceeded. So you can say that, providing the current increase doesn't cause their power rating to be exceeded, their resistance should remain the same. Resistors wouldn't be of much use if their resistance value changed whenever the current through them changed!
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit. what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and the currents through the resistors?
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
Why current in series combination is constant?
Normally, but if the circuit has capacitors this is not necessarily true.Another viewpoint:No. The current doesn't have to be constant in a series circuit, It can grow, shrink,wax, wane, switch on, switch off, or wander randomly about. But whatever it is,it must be the same at all points in the series circuit.
Does the current remains the same in a series circuit despite the different values if the resistors in the circuit?
current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa
What term remains the same across all the resistances in a parallel combination of resistances?
The voltage across the resistors will remain constant.
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
The supply voltage in a parallel circuit remains the same regardless of the number of additional resistors connected. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same as the supply voltage. Adding more resistors in parallel will increase the total current drawn from the supply.
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
What remains constant in series circuit?
A: No matter how many resistor of different value are inserted the current will remain the same for each. The voltage drop will vary with the difference in resistors and i a parallel path is found along the way the current will divide according to the resistors values
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What is the total voltage of batteries connected in parallel?
When batteries are connected in parallel, the total voltage remains the same as the voltage of a single battery.
What quantity varies place to place in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the current flowing through each branch varies from place to place because the total current splits up and takes different paths. Voltage remains the same across all branches in a parallel circuit.
When batteries are connected in parallel what happened with their voltage?
The voltage remains the same.
What is the hypothesis for parallel circuits?
In a parallel circuit, the hypothesis is that when components are connected in parallel, the total current flowing into the junction equals the total current flowing out. Essentially, the hypothesis states that the total current remains constant regardless of the number of parallel paths.
What is the voltage when batteries are connected in parallel?
When placing voltage sources in parallel, the total voltage is the same as the individual battery's voltages. For example: If I was to place 4 "AA" 1.5 volt batteries in parallel with a life of x hours, the out put would be 1.5 volts with a life of 4x hours. note: never place batteries in parallel that are not in the same condition (charge, voltage, ect...).
Name that line lines that always have the same distance between them?
parallel lines - they are parallel when the distance between them remains constant
What happens to the current in circuit as the resistance increases?
Current decreasesWhen voltage remains constant and resistance increases the current in the circuit will reduce.More informationV=IRwhere V is voltage,I is current andR is resistance.From the above equation,R=V/I, and hence resistance is indirectly proportional to current.Therefore, an increase in resistance would have the effect of decreased current.NB: this holds true only as long as the voltage remains constant.Another opinionHowever, this is only true in the case of a circuit connected in series.When circuits are connected in parallel, the opposite happens. If there is an increase in the amount of resistors in parallel, the total resistance of the circuit then decreases and the current increases subsequently.Yet another viewNo, that's not stated right.If more resistors are added in parallel - so that the circuit's overall total resistance decreases and its total current increases - that is NOT in any way the opposite of what this question is asking about...Let's make this crystal clear, so that there is no confusion: "an increase in the amount of resistors" is NOT the same as "an increase in resistance".So a parallel circuit behaves EXACTLY the same as a series circuit: if its overall resistance increases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit decreases AND if its overall resistance decreases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit increases.Actually, the second opinion is correctIn a parallel circuit, there are more branches to allow electrons back to the power supply, so current increases. With more resistors in a circuit, the overall resistance in a parallel circuit DECREASES.In a series circuit, current is the same throughout. So if more resistors are added, resistance INCREASES and so current DECREASES.
