How are parallel resistors connected?

If you need a resistor of a certain value, and you have no resistors with small enough values,you can create the one you need by connecting several of those you have in parallel.The effective net resistance of resistors in parallel is always less than the smallest individual.And the more resistors you add in parallel, the smaller the net effective resistance becomes.


How do you find out maximum element in parallel algorithm?

To find the maximum element in a parallel algorithm, you can utilize a parallel reduction approach. First, divide the array into smaller segments and assign each segment to a different processor. Each processor computes the maximum of its assigned segment, and then the results are combined in a tree-like structure, where pairs of maximums are compared until a single maximum value is obtained. This method significantly reduces the time complexity compared to a sequential search, achieving logarithmic depth relative to the number of processors.


Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?

A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.


What is the difference between Alternators and generators?

Generators produce electricity as direct current and Alternators produce electricity as alternating current. As alternators produce electricity more effeciently, and they are smaller and lighter and are used in modern vehicles.A generator creates direct current in the manufacture of power. An Alternator creates alternating current in the creation of power. Alternators can have diodes installed internally so that they have a D.C. output.


When resistors are put in parallel with each otherwhat happen to their resistance?

Call the total effective resistance 'R'. If the values of the individual parallel resistors are 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' etc., then 1/R = (1/A) + (1/B) + (1/C) + (1/D) etc. Or, R = 1 divided by { (1/A) + (1/B) + (1/C) + (1/D) } The more resistors there are in parallel, the SMALLER the effective resistance becomes.

How do wires change after the electricity goes through the smaller transformer?

voltage gets smaller


How does the capacitance of parallel-plate capacitors with different surface areas vary?

The capacitance of parallel-plate capacitors increases with the surface area of the plates. This means that capacitors with larger surface areas have higher capacitance compared to capacitors with smaller surface areas.


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...)


How does the capacitance of parallel plate capacitors with different surface areas compare to each other?

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitors is directly proportional to the surface area of the plates. This means that capacitors with larger surface areas will have higher capacitance compared to capacitors with smaller surface areas.


What are all the characteristics of a trapezoid?

Why can't lightning be used to provide electricity for homes?

DC (dirrect current) electricity is not used in homes, because different appliances (lamps, TVs, etc.) use different voltages. By using AC electricity, each appliance can take the voltage it needs. If we used DC, some smaller appliances would constantly burn out, because the voltages are far too high.


Does Uganda have electicity?

Indeed Uganda has electricity. Most of Uganda's electricity is imported to neighbouring countries.


How could you determine whether a string of lights is in series or parallel BEFORE you purchase?

What is a leaf with parallel veins?

In parallel venation, the veins are all smaller in size and parallel or nearly parallel to one another, although a series of smaller veins connects the large veins. Parallel venation occurs in the leaves of nearly all monocotyledonous Angiosperms, whose embryos have one cotyledon, as in flowering plants such as lillies and grasses


How many parallel lines in a 100 sided polygon?

Why do latitude lines have smaller circumferences as you move away from the equator?

Because they're all parallel 'slices' of a sphere . . . like the circumference and diameterof the flat rounds you get when you slice an orange with parallel cuts.
