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.


In a parallel circuit adding more bulbs will increase?

It will decrease the effective load resistance across the power supply terminals, increase the total current through the load, and increase the total power required to be supplied by the power supply.


What is the effect on the total resistance if increase in resistors in series?

That depends ... in a very interesting way ... on whether they are connected in series or in parallel. -- If the resistors are in series, then the total resistance increases when you add another resistor, and it's always greater than the biggest single one. -- If the resistors are in parallel, then the total resistance decreases when you add another resistor, and it's always less than the smallest single one.


How do you connect several resistances if you want to decrease in total resistance without reducing the number of resistors?

The resistors should be connected in parallel .


If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?

In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.

Is resistance box connected in series or parallel?

It depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want to decrease the resistance in a circuit, you would place the box in parallel to some other resistor. If you want to increase the resistance in a circuit, you would place the box in series.


How is electrical resistance decreased?

Ways to reduce electrical resistance: increase the diameter of the conductor, decrease or increase the temperature of conductor (depending on its thermal characteristics), decrease the length of the conductor. A change in the material out of which the conductor is made can decrease resistance, too. And there is the phenomenon of superconductivity. In a simple circuit the resistance can be lowered by adding resistors in parallel. The total circuit resistance will then decrease. You can also reduce resistance by substituting resistors of lower value, or by adjusting a potentiometer, or pot, to a lower value.


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.

It will decrease the effective load resistance across the power supply terminals, increase the total current through the load, and increase the total power required to be supplied by the power supply.


What happens when more branches are added to a parallel circuit?

Adding more branches to a parallel circuit decreases the overall resistance of the circuit. This leads to an increase in the total current flowing through the circuit as each branch provides an additional pathway for the current to flow. This results in a decrease in the total resistance and an increase in the overall current of the circuit.


What happens to resistance when resistors are wired in parallel delta circuit?

What do you mean by a 'parallel delta' circuit -is there such a connection.


Will parallel lines increase?

No, there is no reason for them to change in any way: increase, remain the same or decrease.


What would be the effect of adding a load in parallel to a parallel circuit?

Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance With constant voltage, an increase in resistance decreases the current. Now the load can be added in two basic ways. If the load is added in series the resistance will increase. If you add load in parallel the resistance will decrease and the current will increase from the source.
