Greater value resistor will absorb more voltage than smaller value. The more voltage absorb with same value current flow, the larger body mass resistor will require. Body size depends on type of resistor (material resistor is made of).

Why does higher resistance have a larger voltage drop across it?

In a d.c. circuit, voltage drop is the product of resistance and current through that resistance.


What is IR drop?

IR Drop means voltage drop. As voltage drop across any resistance is product of current (I) passing through resistance and resistance value(R ) , it is often written as IR drop.


If the value of resistance increased then?

If the resistance is increased the current, which is inversely proportional, decreases and, the voltage drop increases.


What is the voltage drop using?

Voltage drop is caused by circuit resistance


Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?

The higher voltage drop in XLPE cables compared to PVC cables is due to the different electrical properties of the materials. XLPE has a lower dielectric constant and higher resistivity than PVC, leading to a higher internal resistance and therefore higher voltage drop. Additionally, XLPE cables usually have a higher operating temperature, which can also contribute to increased voltage drop.


Does voltage change with distance?

Voltage drop occurs with distance in electrical circuits due to resistance in the conductors. The longer the distance, the higher the resistance, causing a drop in voltage. This can affect the performance of electrical systems if the voltage drop is significant.


In 3 phase voltage increases and current decreases why?

If the load current descrease, there is less voltage drop caused by the resistance of the wire, so the voltage is higher.


How the voltage depending resistance works?

There are two ways of looking at this question, depending on what you mean by 'voltage'.The first applies to the supply voltage, which is quite independent of a circuit's load resistance. In other words, changing the load resistance will have no effect on the supply voltage (within limits; for example, and extremely-low resistance might cause the supply voltage to collapse!).The second applies to any voltage drops, which are proportional to the resistance across which they appear. If, for example, you have a high resistance and a low resistance, in series, then the higher voltage drop will appear across the higher resistance.


What effect does it have on the voltage drop in an electrical cable if the resistance of the cable is decreased?

It will decrease the voltage drop.

What is a IR drop across a resistance?

IR drop across a resistance is voltage. The letter I means current, and the letter R means resistance. Current times resistance, by Ohm's law is voltage.
