What else can I help you with?
What is the device that resists the flow of electrical current?
resistor
What is a material which allows electricity to flow through it but with but with resistance?
A "resistance" or "resistor".
If it is difficult for electricity to flow through a component what is it called?
Resistive Or a resistor High Impedance
What kind of device is a resistor?
A Resistor does exactly what the name suggests, it creates resistance. More precisely, it creates resistance for the flow of electrons, effectively limiting the amount of current flowing through it(and via ohms law, limits voltage). To answer the question, A resistor isn't an input or output device, it behaves the same way no matter how you turn it and it can be placed on the input of a component(or circuit) aswell as the output.
What effect if any does connecting a voltmeter across a resistor in a circuit have on the current through the resistor?
A very very tiny amount of the current that would normally flow through the resistor instead flows through the voltmeter, allowing it to make its measurement. For most purposes this very very tiny amount of current can be completely ignored.
Does a resistor use electrical energy as it interferes with the flow of charge?
Yes, a resistor converts electrical energy into heat as it interferes with the flow of charge. This energy is dissipated in the form of heat due to the resistance of the resistor material.
Is a battery a resistor if not what is?
No, a battery is not a resistor. A battery provides electrical energy, while a resistor is a component that restricts the flow of current in a circuit.
What device could not provide the energy for current to flow in a circuit?
a resistor
What does a resistor do in in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
How does a resistor work in a circuit to regulate the flow of electrical current?
A resistor in a circuit works by impeding the flow of electrical current, which helps regulate the amount of current passing through the circuit. This is achieved by converting electrical energy into heat energy as the current passes through the resistor, limiting the flow of electricity.
Why does a resistor get hot when electricity passes through it?
A resistor gets hot when electricity passes through it because the resistance in the resistor causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is dissipated as the resistor resists the flow of electricity, leading to an increase in temperature.
What is the name for an electrical load that converts electrical energy into heat energy?
The name for an electrical load that converts electrical energy into heat energy is a resistor. Resistor works by resisting the flow of electricity through a circuit, which in turn generates heat as a byproduct.
How does a resistor slow down the flow of change in a circuit?
A resistor slows down the flow of current in a circuit by converting electrical energy into heat. This conversion of energy leads to a loss in voltage, limiting the speed at which the current can flow through the circuit. The resistance in the resistor opposes the flow of current, reducing its rate of change.
Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
Why is the resistor designed in such a way that it oppose its flow of electrons?
A resistor determines the speed that electrical energy is spent, the power. Without it, the supply is spent immediately and cannot be stored.
How does a resistor reduce voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces voltage in an electrical circuit by converting some of the electrical energy into heat. This process slows down the flow of electricity, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
