A; occasionally resistors short out especially at hi frequency hi voltage due to external contamination. But usually resistors open up or change to a hi value due to power overstress

What happens to the voltage values of other resistors when a short occurs in one of them?

If a short occurs in a resistor in series with other resistors, the voltage drops across the other resistors will increase. If a short occurs in a resistor in parallel with other resistors, the voltage drops across the other resistors will decrease, to zero.


What are those materials of resistors?

most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors


What are the types of resistors its application and uses?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.


How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?

The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.


High level short circuit?

The short circuited path is the one which doesn't have any distributed elements(i.e., resistors, inductors,etc...). So the highly short circuited means only 'the connecting wire' is present in the circuit.


What is the advantage of film resistors over carbon resister?

Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.


Four resistors having a value of 100 ohms are connected in parallel what is the total resistance of the circuit?

What would the measured ohms be for two 100 ohm resistors wired in series? Two 100 ohm resistors wired in series measure 200 ohms.


What are Resistors wired in series?

Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.


Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?

Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.


What is carbon composition?

Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.


Why resistors are connecting?

resistors are used to resist the flow of current in a circuit.......


What are resistors and why are they used?

Resistors are like funnels, they restrict the flow of current.
