We can guess that the resistor is used for discharging the capacitor's plates. Generally we short the two terminals on a capacitor to discharge it fully. A resistor will take more time to do this than shorting-out the terminals: the higher the resistance, the longer the time that will be taken to discharge a capacitor fully.

How to add a capacitor and resistor in parallel?

To add a capacitor and resistor in parallel, simply connect one terminal of the capacitor to one terminal of the resistor, and then connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the other terminal of the resistor. This creates a parallel circuit where both components share the same voltage.


How do you connect a voltmeter to a battery?

To measure the total emf simply connect the battery and voltmeter with the right terminals , but to measure the terminal potential difference which is less than the emf the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the battery


How are you going to arrange a circuit if you want to measure the potential drop across a resistor?

Connect a power source to the resistor (+ve terminal to one side of the resistor and -ve terminal to the other) then connect a voltmeter in parallel with the resistor. The reading on the voltmeter will provide a measure of the potential difference across the resistor (ie: the voltage drop across it).


Which will normally have the larger resistance a voltmeter or an ammeter?

A voltmeter has the large resistance.The voltage across any component can be measured if & only if the terminals of that component will be open and this will we can acheiv if we connect the high resistance voltmeter across the open terminals of that component to measure the voltage.


What are two familiar mistakes when using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter?

Voltmeter connect in parallel with the circuit setting on voltmeter highest range first then to lower range. Ohmmeter we need to use the ohmmeter meter setting connect across the resistor


How do you UNCHARGE a capacitor?

Connect it, in series, to a resistor or a dummy load and a switch. And then throw the switch.


Circuit diagram for fixed bias circuit?

need to use BC107 transistor which has three terminals base, collector and emitter........ collector is connected with 6.8k ohm resistor other end of this resistor is connected with 3.7 ohm resistor and it is connected to the base of the transistor which is already connected to a capacitor of 1 micro F and a positive of function generator......and in the output side i.e in the collector and emitter side connect the 1 micro F capacitor and 10 kohm resistor and connect the CRO...... then other to the ground.......

How do you convert voltmeter to ohmmeter?

First you will need a constant current source. Do NOT connect the voltmeter to the constant current source without the resistor to be measured already connected. Do NOT use a battery, it is a voltage source. Then follow these steps to measure a resistor:connect the voltmeter across the resistor to be measuredconnect the voltmeter-resistor combination across the constant current sourceread the voltmeter and record the voltagedisconnect the voltmeter-resistor combination from the constant current sourcedisconnect the voltmeter from the resistorcalculate the resistance from the measured voltage and current from the source with Ohm's law in this form: R = V ÷ IIts much easier to just use the ohms setting on a multimeter.


How connect a variable resistor to circuit?

To connect a variable resistor to a circuit, identify the two terminals of the variable resistor. Connect one terminal to the input or output of the circuit where you want to adjust the resistance. Connect the other terminal to either the ground or another reference point depending on the circuit's design. Ensure that the resistance value on the variable resistor is adjusted as needed for your circuit application.
