When a Wheatstone bridge is in a balanced condition the center voltmeter in the bridge?

When the resistance in all four are equal


Why the series resistor of the voltmeter is high?

Aim of any measuring instrument is to measure the object without affecting it. Voltmeter is used to measure voltage between two points and connected in parallel. Thus voltmeter should not change the voltage. If voltmeter resistance is very high, it will be as good as infinity compared to load. Thus connecting voltmeter will not change the voltage and measure it accurately.


Why does the resistance in a series resonant circuit have no bearing on the resonant frequency?

Series resonance occurs when a circuit's inductive reactance is equal to its capacitive reactance. The resistance of the circuit is irrelevant.WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight


To connect a pair of resistors so that their equivalent resistance is greater than the resistance of either one should you connect them in series or in parallel?

When many resistances are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is greater than the greatest single resistance. When many resistances are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is less than the smallest single resistance.


If a circuit contains 3-ohm resistance in a series what is the equivalent resistance of combination?

Equation for Equivalent Resistance in Series isReq= R1+R2+R3+...........If each resistor is equal to 3OhmsthenReq= R1+R2+R3Req=3+3+3Req=9 OhmsThe Equivalent resistance is 9 Ohms.

Why cant you use voltmeter 2 calculate emf of a cell?

A voltmeter measures potential difference across a component, which may not necessarily be equal to the EMF of a cell due to internal resistance in the cell and voltage drops across other components in the circuit. To accurately measure the EMF of a cell, a potentiometer or a high-resistance voltmeter is used in conjunction with a null point method.


What is the ratio of equivalent resistance of series and parallel combination of n equal resistance to the equivalent resistance on parallel combination?

The ratio of the equivalent resistance of series combination to the parallel combination of n equal resistors is (n^2 - 1)/n.


How is the voltage drop across each resistance of series combination related to the correspoding resistance?

The voltage across each series component is proportional to its resistance, and their sum is equal to the voltage between the ends of the complete series string.


How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?

The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.


Why must voltmeter be connected in parallel with the circuit component?

Because, by definition, a voltage is the difference in potential between two different points. So the voltmeter must be connected across those points in order to measure that voltage -i.e. in parallel with the points.B


How come when you use a voltmeter the applied voltage is not equal to the individual voltage of a resistor when it should be because it's in parallel I got 2.5 V in the applied v but only 2 v in each?

There are two possible explanations... The resistance of the applied voltage is sufficiently high, in comparision with the resistors, to cause the resistors to pull the voltage down. The resistance of the voltmeter is sufficiently low, in comparision with the resitors, to cause the voltmeter to pull the voltage down.


What is the difference between ammeters and amp meters?

An Ammeter connects a low impedance on the test points, so the equivalent of that is a "short circuit" between the test points. This is done to avoid a drop of current on the tested circuit. A Voltmeter connects a high impedance on the test points, so the equivalent of that is a "open circuit" between the test points. This is done to avoid a drop of voltage on the tested circuit. --------- In terms of external connections Ammeter (used to measure current) is connected in series of the circuit (through which the current flow need to be measured) and voltmeter (used to measure voltage) is connected in parallel to points in circuit (across which voltage needs to be measured).

Is resistance in a series circuit equal to the largest resistor in the series?

No. The resistance in a series circuit is all the resistor values added together. eg. If two resistors were in a circuit, one was 10 ohms and the other was 30 ohms, the resistance in the circuit would be 30 ohms. Hope this helps!


What are the laws of series and parallel connection?

1.In series connection the total resistance is equal the total number of resistor that was connected in series 2.the current is constant in a series connection 3.in a series connection total voltage is equal the number of of volt per cells
