Then the voltage in will equal the voltage out. The purpose of a resistor is to reduce the amount of electrical flow of current.

You 'short out' the supply and blow a fuse/circuit breaker.

What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?

If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.


When a dead short occur what happens to circuit resistance?

The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.


When resistance is in a circuit what happens to the current?

When you add resistance to a circuit, current goes down. Ohm's Law: current = voltage divided by resistance.

What happens to amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?

When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.


What happens to resistance when resistors are wired in parallel delta circuit?

What do you mean by a 'parallel delta' circuit -is there such a connection.


If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?

It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance


What happens in a series circuit if one of the resistors is replaced with a resistor having a lower resistance value?

In a series circuit, if one resistor is replaced with a resistor of lower resistance, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This leads to an increase in the overall current flowing through the circuit.


What happens to the power of an electric circuit of the resistance is decreased?

if the resistance is decreased and the current stays the same, then the power decreases.


What happens in a circuit when the resistance gets greater?

Flow of current decreases proportionately.


What happens when a part of a parallel circuit is disconnected?

current decreases and resistance increases
