A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?

A resistor.


What is need of capacitor and resistor in circuit?

because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.


What is the lifespan of a resistor?

A resistor doesn't deteriorate with age, and has no particular 'life-span', as long as it's used properly. -- A resistor in a box on the shelf, or in a circuit where it stays cool, will last indefinitely. -- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate enough power to make it hot may change its resistance value permanently, but will continue to operate. -- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate even more than that, to a ridiculous extreme, may melt or explode. When that happens, it's the end of the resistor's life-span. But it wasn't the resistor's fault.


What is the meaning of resistor?

Resistors are one of the three basic electronic components. They restrict the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Fixed resistors have a fixed value of resistance, and are used in almost every electronic circuit for lots of different reasons.


What is the function of a variable resister in an electrical circuit?

A variable resistor usually has three terminals, one of which is connected to the 'wiper' by which means its resistance is measured. By using all three terminals, we can control the potential difference in a circuit. When used in this way, we call the variable resistor a 'potentiometer'. By using two of the three terminals, one of which must be connected to the variable wiper, we can control the current passing through circuit. When used in this way, we call the variable resistor a 'rheostat'.

What is a function of a resistor in a fire alarm circuit?

A resistor in a sensor circuit is used as a simple way to monitor the function of the circuit. The resistor has a calibrated and known voltage drop and current while the circuit is "normal". If there is a short-circuit, or an open-circuit, the voltage and current will change and trigger the trouble alarm.


What does a pre-set resistor do in a circuit?

A preset resistor is used in some circuits to change the resistance. The preset resistor enables the circuit to be more or less sensitive thereby altering the resistance.


Where is ballast resistor on Dodge Grand Caravan sport 2002?

It does not have a ballast resistor, those were used for ignition systems 30+ years ago. It does have a blower motor resistor that is located behind the glove box.It does not have a ballast resistor, those were used for ignition systems 30+ years ago.

What is a device that resists the flow of electricity in a circuit?

A resistor is a device that resists the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is used to control the amount of current flowing through the circuit by providing a specific amount of resistance.

What is a resistor block?

It is a resistor or a group of resisters used to control the flow or current in a circuit. Like the resistor block in a car controls the speed of the a/c blower.


What are devises run by electrical energy represented as resistors in a circuit?

Do not confuse 'resistance' with 'resistor'. 'Resistance' is a quantity, wheras a 'resistor' is a circuit component. In schematic diagrams, the 'rectangular' (European) or 'zig-zag' (US) circuit symbol represents resistance, not a resistor. The circuit symbol, therefore, is used to represent anyresistive device.
