What would result from increasing the resistance in a series circuit with one resistance (load)?

Resistance refers to the property of a substance that impedes the flow of electric current. Some substances resist current flow more than others. If a substance offers very high resistance to current flow it is called an insulator. If its resistance to current flow is very low, it is called a conductor. Resistivity refers to the ability of substances to resist current flow. Good conductors have low resistivity and insulators have high resistivity.Factors upon which resistance dependsThe resistance R of a conductori. is directly proportional to its lengthii. is inversely proportional to its area of X-sectioniii. nature of the materialiv. changes with temperature.From the first three points, R = p l/ A where p = rho and is a constant of proportionalityOr, if the resistance is increased,current flow will decrease(I = V/R).Looking at the first three factors ,area of X-section will be decreasing.


What does a fixed resistor do in a circuit?

It resist the flow of current according to the resistance value.


Why is it capacitance does not affect current in a Direct Current circuit?

Capacitors resist a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. In a DC circuit, the voltage is not changing. Therefore, after equilibrium is reached, there is no current flowing through the capacitor.


What is the greatest stress that material can resist before breaking?

The greatest stress that a material can resist before breaking is called the ultimate tensile strength. It is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand without breaking under tension. Different materials have different ultimate tensile strengths, and it is an important property to consider for designing and engineering structures.


If capacitors dont use ac current then how and why are they used in most appliances?

Capacitors resist a change in voltage, proportional to capacitance and current. This is called capacitive reactance. As a result, a capacitor in an AC circuit will create a leading phase angle, current relative to voltage. This, for example, can be used to help start a motor by creating two magnetic fields, one leading the other.

What is the current limiting property in an iductor called?

The property that limits the current flow in an inductor is called inductive reactance. Inductive reactance increases with frequency, causing the inductor to resist changes in current flow. This property is a crucial part of inductor behavior in AC circuits.

Which property of objects causes them to resist changes to their motion?

Inertia is an objects ability to resist motion. I think of inertia as an object's' mass (different from weight). Newton's second law (F = mass times acceleration) describes the interaction between force and an objects ability to resist motion.


What term describes the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion?

The term is inertia. It is the property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their state of motion.


Which property of water allows it to resist rapid changes in temperature?

Water's high specific heat capacity is the property that allows it to resist rapid changes in temperature. This means that water can absorb or release a large amount of heat energy without its temperature changing significantly.
