A circuit does need resistance but not necessarily a resistor. without any resistance a circuit will be considered a "short circuit" and you power source will most likely overheat.

Resistance can be created in millions of different ways. This could be something such as an or any other light source but also a module such as a capacitor resistor or diode. To get to you're question more directly a circuit needs resistance to keep from shorting out. A specific module(such as an LED) would need a resistor to lower the voltage so to a point where the module can accept the power without burning out.

Why RC circuit is preferred over RL circuit in waveshaping?

There is no true advantage of RC circuits over RL circuits, as they perform different functions. RC circuits contain resistors and capacitors, while RL circuits contain resistors and inductors.


What will happen if you connect identical integrated circuits in series?

Connecting integrated circuits is not the same as the much simpler cases of resistors, capacitors, inductors, motors, light bulbs, etc. Integrated circuits have designated functions, and they operate in concert with the surrounding circuit design. As such, the idea of "connecting identical integrated circuits in series" has no meaning in the general case. You would need to state what kind of integrated circuit is involved.


How to design a phase shifter circuit using operational amplifier to have a desired phase shift?

There are many phase shift oscillator circuits on the internet. Google search, `phase+shift+oscillator+schematics` and `phase+shift+oscillator+diagrams`. Generally, if you want to change the phase shift characteristics, you'll need to substitute some fixed resistors with variable resistors and depending where they're placed, you can either change the operating frequency or the waveform characteristics.


What is the function of a 180K resistor in hobby kit?

All resistors have the same function in a hobby kit, to cause a voltage drop in series circuits or reduce currents in parallel circuits. A value of 180k ohms is just going to do that by a lot.

What are some series parallel circuits practice problems that I can solve to improve my understanding of electrical circuits?

Here are some series-parallel circuits practice problems you can solve to improve your understanding of electrical circuits: Calculate the total resistance in a circuit with two resistors in series and one resistor in parallel. Determine the current flowing through each resistor in a circuit with three resistors in parallel. Find the voltage drop across each resistor in a circuit with two resistors in series and one resistor in parallel. Calculate the total power dissipated in a circuit with resistors connected in both series and parallel configurations. Determine the equivalent resistance of a complex circuit with multiple resistors connected in series and parallel. Solving these practice problems will help you develop a better understanding of series-parallel circuits and improve your skills in analyzing and solving electrical circuit problems.
