A 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor What is the current in the circuit?

If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in series, the current in the circuit is 1.0 amperes. If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in parallel, the current in the circuit is 0.5 amperes.


A 3 omega resistor is connected in parallel with a 12 omega resistor and the combination is connected to a 12-V battery How much current does the battery supply?

The 12V battery connected to the 2.4 Ohm combination will supply 12/2.4 or 5A. The individual currents will be 12/3 or 4A for the 3 Ohm resistor, and 12/12 or 1A for the 12 Ohm resistor. The 2.4 Ohm parallel combination is obtained from a simple product-over-the-sum calculation.

What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?

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.


How does the behavior of a circuit change when a capacitor and resistor are connected in parallel?

When a capacitor and resistor are connected in parallel in a circuit, the behavior changes in that the capacitor stores and releases electrical energy while the resistor controls the flow of current. This combination can affect the overall impedance and time constant of the circuit, leading to changes in the voltage and current characteristics.


A red resistor draws more current than a blue resistor when they are connected to the same battery which resistor has the lower resistance?

The voltage of a battery goes as the current times the resistance (V=IR). Because the voltage is being held constant, the resistor that draws the most current will have the lower resistance.


How do you install a resistor in an DC circuit?

It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.


How far can the electric current of a Duracell battery travel through a long crocodile clip?

All the way along when the crocodile clip is connected to a resistor, when the other end of the resistor is connected to the other side of the battery.


What is a resistor bank?

In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.

A circuit has a battery connected to resistor 1 and resistor 1 is connected to resistor 2 which is then connected back to the battery what can be said about this circuit?

This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.


When two identical cells are connected either in series or parallel across a 2 ohm resistor they send the same current through it calculate the internal resistance of each cell?

as the given cells have the same current flowing in through them (current flowing through the cells connected in series is equal to the current flowing when connected in parallel ) equate the formula's of cells connected in series and cells connected in parallel.thus by equating we get the value of the internal resistor as 2 ohms.
