The total current in a circuit consisting of six operating 100 watt lamps connected in parallel to a 120 volt source is 5 amperes.
Since power is volts times amps, take 600 watts (100 times 6) and divide by 120 volts to get 5 amps.
It depends upon the connection of the resistors, if the resistors are connected in parallel then the voltage is same where as in case of resistors connected in series the voltage is different across different resistors.
A Discussion has been started about this question. Click on the View Discussion button below to take part in it.The "type" of a source does not limit in what ways resistors can be connected to it. Resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a voltage source.Similarly, resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a current source.
Four 1000 ohm resistors in series have an effective resistance of 4000 ohms. Across a 4 volt voltage source, they would have a current of 1 mA, with a power dissipation of 4mW.
The potential difference across two resistors connected in parallel to a battery with a potential difference of 6 volts is 6 volts. Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The signed sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is zero. This means that that the two series circuits involving the battery and each resistor have the same voltage across each other, and the series circuit involving the two resistors have the same voltage across each other.
It would be the sum of the two resistances, as they are connected in series.
Resistors connected in parallel have the same voltage across them, while resistors connected in series have the same current passing through them. In a parallel configuration, the total resistance decreases as more resistors are added, while in a series configuration, the total resistance increases.
The resistors connected in single path are called series resistances or resistances in series.The current across both the resistors is same while the potential differences are different.
Resistors are in series if they are connected end-to-end, creating one path for current to flow. Resistors are in parallel if they are connected side by side, providing multiple paths for current to flow. You can determine if resistors are in series or parallel by examining how they are connected in a circuit.
Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.
It depends upon the connection of the resistors, if the resistors are connected in parallel then the voltage is same where as in case of resistors connected in series the voltage is different across different resistors.
In a series circuit with multiple resistors connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltages across each resistor.
When resistors are connected in series, the flow of current through them is the same. This means that the current passing through each resistor is equal, as it has to pass through each resistor in the series circuit.
If three equal resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance will be one-third of the resistance in series. This lower resistance will result in a higher current flowing through the resistors when connected in parallel compared to when they are in series. Therefore, the power dissipated by the resistors in parallel will be greater than 10W.
if resistors connected in series the resistance will increase.Then it limit the flow of current through it. voltage may be increased. A: by connecting any resistors in series it will limit the current flow it will effect the current but never the voltage applied
yes two resistors can connect both in series and parallel because when you connect two resistors in a closed loop, the same intensity of current flows across them and also they are connected to the same nodes which are the conditions for series and parallel connections respectively.
Which is true of a series circuit that has two resistors?A.The resistors are on different branches of the circuit.B.Neither resistor has current flowing through it.C.One resistor has no voltage across it.D.Both resistors have current flowing through them.
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
