If the resistor becomes hot, its resistance may decrease due to the temperature coefficient of the material, leading to increased current flow if the voltage remains constant. This change could result in higher power dissipation, potentially causing further heating and potentially damaging the resistor if it exceeds its rated temperature. Additionally, the altered resistance could affect the overall circuit performance, leading to inaccurate measurements or unintended behavior in the circuit.

Does increasing the voltage across a resistor increase the electric current through the resistor?

Resistance is not affected by either voltage or current. It is determined only by the cross-sectional area, length, and resistivity of the material. As resistivity is affected by temperature, resistance is indirectly affected by temperature.In the so-called 'Ohm's Law' equation, resistance is a constant. So, if you increase voltage, the resistance remains constant, and the current would increase in proportional to the voltage.


How is the brightness of the LED affected by different resistor values?

LED's are light emmitting diodes. diodes have a voltage threshold that must be reached for them to fully "turn on". A resistor can be used to limit that voltage. As the voltage drop across the diode is increased above the turn on voltage (typically .5 - .7 volts), the diode will emmit light. The LED will only light up so far, so by turning the voltage up significantly more will have a very limitted payback in light output.


What is a maximum voltage across a resistor?

The voltage across the resistor is whatever voltage is applied. The only maximum here would be a voltage that would damage the resistor. If you think this might happen, you'll have to look up such a voltage from the data sheets.


What is the voltage across the first ohm resistor?

If a 100 ohm resistor is needed in an electric circuit carrying a current of 0.3 amperewhat resistor would you select?

A 100 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.3 amperes would, by Ohm's Law, have a potential difference of 30 volts. A current of 0.3 amperes through a voltage of 30 volts would, by the Power Law, dissipate a power of 9 watts. You need a 10 watt resistor, alhough it is better to use a 20 watt resistor. E = IR 30 = (0.3)(100) P = IE 9 = (30)(0.3)

No power at the blower motor resistor?

Since you're checking the resistor, I would assume you checked the fuse/relay for the blower motor. If not check that. If you have then there would be an open wire between the relay and the resistor.
