How much power will be dissipated by resistor R4?

Facts missing. Need two of three values. The resistors value. The voltage across it. The current flowing through it. P=I^2*R. P=E^2/R


What is the voltage drop across a 100 W resistor when the electric current flowing through it is measured at 250 mA?

Who can tell? The power rating of a resistor simply tells us the maximum power that resistor is capable of handling; it doesn't tell us anything about the actual power being produced for any given current. So, to find out the voltage drop across that resistor, you will need to find out its resistance, and multiply this value by the current you specify.


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


What is the value of the current of a ten ohm resistor which has a constant current and 1200 C of charge flowing through it in 4 minutes?

5 A Q / t = I so 1200/4*60 = 5 A


How measure the value of resister?

To measure the value of a resistor, apply a voltage and measure the voltage across the resistor and the current through the resistor. Use Ohm's law: Resistance equals Voltage divided by Current. Start with a small voltage and increase gradually until a reading is obtained, but be careful that the power dissipation (watts = volts times amperes) of the resistor is not exceeded. Simpler solution: Use an ohmeter.

What value resistor will you need?

To determine the value of the resistor needed, you would typically need to know the voltage across the resistor and the desired current flowing through it. The value can be calculated using Ohm's Law: resistance (in ohms) = voltage (in volts) / current (in amperes).


How to find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit?

To find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). So, you can calculate the potential difference by multiplying the current flowing through the resistor by the resistance value of the resistor.


Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?

Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.


Are resistor drops the voltage or current?

Resistors drop voltage by creating a voltage difference across themselves. This voltage drop is determined by the resistance value of the resistor and the current flowing through it, according to Ohm's Law (V=IR). The current passing through a resistor remains constant if the resistor is in series with other components in a circuit.


How do you calculated the current shunt?

Write down the Ohm's law expression of "V = I * R" where "V" is the voltage drop across shunt resistor, "I" is the current flowing through shunt and "R" is the shunt resistance.Substitute value of voltage "V" and current "I" in the Ohm's law expression. For example, if voltage across shunt is 10 volts and current flowing through it is 1 ampere, then the expression is 10 = 100 * R.Divide the expression throughout by 100 to calculate the "R" value. Using a calculator, find the value of "R." From the example, the value of "R" will be 0.1 ohm, which is the value of shunt resistor.


Why ohm-meter can't read the resistance value when current flowing through a resistor?

ohm meter puts current thru a resistor to measure voltage drop E / I = R if the circuit already has current flowing the numbers are meaningless

What value of resistor would take you from 18v ac to 3.3v ac?

sorry - no can do. The value of a resistor is dependent upon the amount of current flowing through it. To drop the a.c. voltage as you have stated would require a drop-down transformer.


What is the current flowing through a 200 watt resistor that has a rating of 21 ohms?

The current can't be calculated from the information given in the question.The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power it can dissipate before it overheatsand its resistance possibly changes permanently. The power rating is not the amount ofpower it always dissipates.So, all we really know about the resistor in the question is that its resistance is 21 ohms.And all we can say about the current through it is:Current through the resistor = (voltage between the ends of the resistor) divided by (21).


What is an electronic device that limits the amount of current that can flow through it?

A current limiter. Commonly used in well designed power supplies to make the power supply "Fold over" if output current exceeds a safe value. Commonly use a low value resistor in series with the output, and a circuit that senses the voltage across it. Although the above answer describes a circuit to limit current, the device that limits the amount of current flowing through it is a resistor.


2 resistors unequal value are in parallel. Would the power dissipated by the resistor with larger ohmic value be greater than the power dissipated by the resistor of lesser value?

No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.
