Reducing voltage in a circuit does not affect resistance?
Reducing voltage in a circuit does not directly affect resistance. It affects current. Resistance is an independent variable.Ohm's law: voltage equals current times resistance.However, reducing voltage and/or current does reduce power, which reduces temperature, which can change resistance because resistance is usually affected to some degree by temperature.
If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?
If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.
An increase in resistance in a circuit will cause?
In a simple circuit, lowering the voltage will not cause the resistance to do anything. Lowering the voltage will, however, cause the current to also lower.This ignores temperature coefficient. If there is substantial power involved, a typical bulb, for instance, will grow cooler and its resistance will decrease when you lower the voltage, but that is usually a small effect.
What is power factor of resistor?
A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.
What are the approximations of open circuit and short circuit tests?
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.

How does resistance affect electric energy?
Resistance in a circuit causes a loss of electric energy in the form of heat. The higher the resistance in a circuit, the more energy is dissipated as heat, reducing the efficiency of the system. In practical applications, this heating effect can be beneficial (e.g., in electric heaters) or detrimental (e.g., in power lines where energy loss is undesirable).
Can inserting a resistor in a circuit produce an effect similar to a open circuit?
Of course it depends entirely on the ohm's resistance of the resistor. The higher the resistance, the lower the comparison to a short circuit.
Why is the resistance of volt meter very high?
So it doesn't effect the circuit being tested. If a low impediance or resistance meter were inserted in the circuit, voltages may drop and effect the accuracy of the test. Any voltmeter will use some power from the circuit to make a reading. A "high impediance voltmeter" will use very little power from the circuit so the voltage reading will be as accurate as it can be.
The power in an electrical circuit is given by the equation P I2R where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is the resistance of the circuit. What is the power in a circuit that has a c?
The power in a circuit is determined by multiplying the square of the current flowing through the circuit by the resistance of the circuit. Without specific values for current and resistance provided, the precise power cannot be calculated.
What Effect does battery capacity on a circuits internal resistance?
Batteries are rated as ampere/hour any circuit that draws power from it effects it. The lower the internal resistance of the circuit the shorter the useful battery life as discharged.
What methods can be used to increase the electric current flowing through a circuit?
To increase the electric current flowing through a circuit, you can use methods such as increasing the voltage, reducing the resistance in the circuit, or adding more power sources.
What is an equation for power?
Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)
Is power directly proportional to resistance?
No, power is not directly proportional to resistance. The power dissipated in a circuit is given by P = I^2 * R, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is the resistance. This means that power is proportional to the square of the current but linearly proportional to resistance.
If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?
If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.
Why power decreases when the frequency increases?
When frequency increases, power decreases due to the skin effect and proximity effect. These effects cause current to flow closer to the surface of the conductor at higher frequencies, increasing the effective resistance. This increased resistance leads to power losses in the form of heat, reducing the overall power transmitted.
What is Power that is applied to an entire circuit consisting of resistance capacitance and inductance is called?
The unit of power measured is watt, irrespective of resistance, capacitance or inductance of the circuit.
