What else can I help you with?
What is the current through the 150 ohm resistor?
It depends on the voltage applied across it. But the maximum current is limited by the power-rating of the resistor (power divided by the square of the voltage).
Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
What process will double the power dissipated by a resistor?
Increase the voltage across the resistor by 41.4% .
How would you connect a resistor in order to reduce an LED's applied voltage?
You could use the voltage divider rule to reduce the voltage. Using two resistors in series, the input voltage will drop across each resistor by an amount that is proportionate to the values of the resistors. If the 1st resistor is 10K and the 2nd resistor is 100K, the voltage drop across the 10K will be 10 times LESS than that of the 100K resistor. The total voltage drop across both resistors will be equal to the supplied input voltage. Work out the ratio of voltage you need from the total input voltage and use 2 resistors will that give you the same ratio. Connect the LEDs in parallel with the resistor the gives you the voltage you want. Use a MM to measure the voltage across the resistor before wiring LEDs.
Is voltage the same across each resistor connected in series?
No, the voltage is not the same across each resistor connected in series. In a series circuit, the total voltage is divided among the resistors based on their individual resistances. According to Ohm's Law, the voltage drop across each resistor is proportional to its resistance, meaning that resistors with different values will have different voltage drops across them. The sum of the individual voltage drops will equal the total voltage supplied by the source.
What is the current through the 150 ohm resistor?
It depends on the voltage applied across it. But the maximum current is limited by the power-rating of the resistor (power divided by the square of the voltage).
What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?
The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.
Does voltage flow across or through a resistor?
No. If a voltage is applied across a resistor, a current flows through it.
In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?
It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.
Does current flow through a resistor or across a resistor?
Normally through the resistor's internal construction. It flows through any part of the resistor that has low resistance- be it anywere. And then there's this. It might be that one should consider that current flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across a resistor. Perhaps this is where the question began. The former is fairly straight forward. The latter can be vexing. Voltage is said to be dropped across a resistor when current is flowing through it. The voltage drop may be also considered as the voltage measureable across that resistor or the voltage "felt" by that resistor. It's as if that resistor was in a circuit by itself and hooked up to a battery of that equivalent voltage.
What is a protective resistor?
The protecting resistor is put in series with the LED so that you have a voltage divider - the supply voltage is split across the LED ( max 0.6v) and the remainder across the protecting resistor. So if your supply is 6volts, 5.4v will be across the resistor,
What is the current drop across the resistor?
The correct question is what is the voltage drop across a resistor or the current flowing through the resistor using Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance
Did the the total voltage across the resistors does not depend on the resistor value?
It depends on where and how the resistor is placed in a circuit. A string of series resistors will split the voltage across all them depending on their values. All of the resistors in parallel will have the same voltage across all of them no matter what their resistance is.
Is current is drop when it flowing through the resistor?
Current flows in loops, voltage drops across elements. With relation to current, what flows in, must flow out, so no, current is not dropped across a resistor, it flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across the resistor.
What work resistor?
when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.
Why do resistor voltage decrease while capacitor discharges?
The reason why resistor voltage decreases while a capacitor discharges is because the resistor acts like a source of electrical energy. As the capacitor discharges, it draws energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. This is because the capacitor is acting like a drain, and is taking energy out of the resistor, thus causing the voltage across the resistor to decrease. The resistor and capacitor work together in order to create a discharge circuit. This is done by connecting the capacitor to the resistor, and then to a voltage source. The voltage source supplies the energy to the resistor, and then the resistor transfers this energy to the capacitor. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. In order to understand this process better, it is important to understand the basics of Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the resistance. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which means that the current through the resistor decreases, and therefore the voltage across the resistor will also decrease.
Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
