Where would you want to have a high resistance?

I would want to have high resistance in environments that require durability and longevity, such as in electrical components to prevent overheating and failures. High resistance is also desirable in materials used for insulation, ensuring safety and efficiency in various applications. Additionally, in physical fitness, high resistance training can enhance muscle strength and endurance, contributing to overall health.


Why can you ignore the resistances of wires in circuits with lower current?

Actually, it depends on the resistance of the other components in the circuit, and not so much on whether or not the total circuit current is low or not. Often, conductor resistance is ignored because it is so much lower than the active components that it does not matter. In a circuit with low resistance components, however, conductor resistance can be important, even if the total current is relatively low, because the voltage drop over the wire becomes a significant part of the overall circuit. To answer the specific question, even though its slightly misleading, conductor resistance does tend to become important in high current circuits because the voltage drop over the conductor (Ohm's Law: Voltage is current times resistance) can become high. Even in high current circuits, however, if the conductor is substantially less resistive than the components, the tendency is still to ignore it, except that you have to account for heating of the conductors along with heating of the components.


To test for resistance in a circuit should be energized or de-energized?

To test for resistance in a circuit, the circuit should be de-energized.


What is excessive electrical resistance?

High resistance means insulation


What is the difference between on and off state resistance?

On Circuit Resistance = Close to the total load Resistance. Off Circuit Resistance = Near Infinitive High Resistance.

How does the resistance change in LDR with dark?

In the dark, an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) will have a high resistance value as it is not exposed to light. When exposed to light, the resistance of an LDR decreases significantly due to the photoconductivity effect, making it more conductive.


Is the material inside a light bulb a conductor or resistance?

It has high resistance.


Why are wires with high resistance used in light and toasters?

High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.

Why might you want to use a material with high resistance?

High Resistance Opposes the flow of Electricity that results into production of Heat and Light.


Does A filment in a bulb have low resistance?

Filaments in bulbs typically have high resistance, which allows them to generate light and heat energy efficiently when electricity passes through them. The high resistance causes the filament to heat up and emit light.


What are some devices that are wired such that they have a high resistance in order to create heat?

A light bulb is the best example. The tungsten creates such a high resistance that all the accumulated heat produces light energy.


Is tungsten a good conductor at a low or high resistance?

Tungsten is a good conductor with high resistance. It is commonly used in applications that require high resistance to heat and wear, such as light bulb filaments, because it can maintain its structural integrity at high temperatures.


Do dark spots on xrays mean cancer?

No not really, Dark spots are areas of low resistance to the x-ray which means its gettin through easier, White is High resistance like Bone.. Depends on where they are though...

A dangerous circuit with low resistance and high current?

Another name for a circuit with low resistance and high current is a short circuit. It is dangerous because, if you have sufficient energy in the power source, you can damage components and/or cause fires.


Why are high resistance materials useful in light bulbs?

High resistance materials in light bulbs help convert electrical energy into heat and light efficiently. The resistance generates heat due to the flow of electrons, causing the filament to emit light as it heats up. This process produces a desired level of brightness in the bulb.
