Rubber is generally regarded as an insulator. A resistor is generally regarded as something that resists current but allows some current to pass. Rubber could be considered a resistor with infinite resistance but even that is not entirely true so rubber is usually excluded from the category of resistors.

Can you measure the physical size of a resistor to determine its wattage?

there might be ways to get the power rating by measuring the size of the resistor. but as the physical size of the resistor increases, its power rating also increases..


A circuit has a battery connected to resistor 1 and resistor 1 is connected to resistor 2 which is then connected back to the battery what can be said about this circuit?

This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.


Can you erase things with rubber?

Yes, we can erase pencil marks with rubber because erasers are made out of rubber


What is the symbol of rubber?

If the question is in regard to the chemical symbol of rubber, rubber does not have a chemical symbol. This is because rubber is a chemical compound rather than a single chemical element. Many rubber compounds are hydrocarbons (composed of carbon and hydrogen), and there are many, many different rubber compounds. A general division of rubbers is that between natural rubber and synthetic rubber, and these have been developed over years to suit a wide variety of applications.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAKING IN ON THE PASSANGER SIDE. THERE IS A RUBBER SEAL TO STOP THE WATER FROM GOING DOWN INTO THE HEATER. IT WAS OFF THE METAL RIM UNDERNEATH THE PLASTIC STRIP/COVER BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WIPER. REMOVE THIS COVER AND REPAIR THE RUBBER SEAL FIRST, THEN REMOVE THE FAN/HEATER MOTOR AND TEST TO SEE IF IT IS WORKING , IF IT IS THEN THE RESISTOR IS THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE RESISTOR AND THE MOTOR ON MY IMPALA.

How do you replace part number 89019101 ac evaporator blower resistor on a 2002 Pontiac grand prix?

you must remove the glove compartment, about 6 screws, then remove the lower footwell cover, three plastic push pins. the resistor is right behind the motor, it is a pain to get out. you can see one screw right in plain view, the other two are in between the rubber mat of the firewall and the resistor itself, a pain in the behind


Can an eraser act as a resistor in a circuit?

Yes, an eraser can act as a resistor in a circuit, albeit with limited and inconsistent performance. It has some resistance due to its composition, which is primarily rubber and other materials, allowing it to impede the flow of electric current. However, its resistance values are not well-defined, making it unsuitable for precise applications in electrical circuits. Its use as a resistor would be more of an experimental or educational demonstration rather than a practical solution.
