Many circuits have safety devices such as fuse. A fuse contains a substance that melts if it gets hot. if a short circuit happens, the heat causes the fuse to melt. The circuit is broken. because the current stops ,no damage is done.
The total effective resistance of several resistors connected in series is the sum of the individual resistances.
If one of them becomes "shorted" ... i.e. its resistance changes from several ohms to zero or very small ... then its contribution to the sum is reduced, and the total series resistance is decreased.
In that case, the total (or equivalent) resistance will increase.
resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current, therefore the current will decrease as the resistance increases. Resistance also creates heat. This is how the light globes in a circuit light up.
* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.
As it ages, its Kirchhoff virtual 'internal resistance' increases. Pictured this way, the practical effect is that the open-circuit voltage of a failing cell still measures good, but the voltage quickly sags when you try to draw any current from it
You don't. ...unless you want to directly measure the current in a circuit branch. That's the purpose of an ammeter. You can also use a volt meter if you know the resistance of a resistor in that branch to determine current (assuming DC circuit here) - current = voltage / resistance. This may be more useful for circuitry that is on a breadboard, since inserting an ammeter may not be practical.
The effect of an RL circuit in half wave rectifier is that the voltage output wave forms for current and voltage will be modified .

by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.

The voltmeter has an internal resistance, which should be as high as possible. As this resistance draws current from the circuit under test, it will affect circuit operation. This is more pronounced in a high impedance circuit because the current drawn flows through higher resistances.
Everything in the series circuit will run dimmer / slower / cooler.Since the available voltage is constant (13.6 volts from the battery), increasing the resistancein the circuit causes the current through each device to decrease.

A: In a series circuit the currant is the same for all components but the IR drop will change foe each. By adding Resistance the current will decrease accordingly
That has no effect on the resistance. The current doubles also.
Total resistance decreases.
If a fourth bulb were added in a similar way to the three existing bulbs, the resistance in the circuit would go up if the bulbs were series connected, and it would go down if the bulbs were parallel connected.
