The short answer is that the circuit will have a very high level of current or the maximum amount that the voltage source can provide. Long Answer When analyzing electrical circuits the resistance of the wires is often ignored because it is so small and it makes the calculations easier. In reality all wires or conductors have a certain amount of resistance that affects the circuit. This makes it impossible to have a circuit without any resistance. Following that, Ohm's law can be used to describe what will happen in any circuit. Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current * Resistance or V = I * R Example: Very simple circuit A 12 volt car battery has a wire connecting the positive and negative terminals directly. The resistance of the wire is .001 ohms. What is the current? I = V/R I = 6volts / 0.001 ohms I = 6000 amps Of course, a car battery cannot provide this much current, so the maximum amount that it provide can will flow through the wire. Also, the wire will surely burn up from the high levels of current.

Why would an AC fan blower motor work on all speeds but high?
The circuit for high speed involves the relay to be closed. On a 1995 Chevy Pickup it is located behind the glove compartment. The lower speeds use a fan resistor pack for the different speeds. The voltage supplied to the resistor pack is usually a 25 amp inside fuse. The high speed circuit is supplied by a constant 12 volts that turns on the fan when the relay is energized. The voltage for the high speed circuit comes from a fuse under the hood. Usually a 50 amp. If all fuses are good then there might be a fusable link in the wire somewhere.
What is a resistor on an electric circuit made of?
The opposition of a body or substance to current passing through it, resulting in a change of electrical energy into heat or another form of energy. So it could be any substance. From 68.191.13.211. Now would someone out there add to what you have sen so far. Then we will all be more aware of the exact nature of the resistance.
What would cause a 1988 Cherokee to fire by not start?
I had this happen to me and it was the resister connectors , could be the resistor itself, 92 had it mounted on left front fender near top, it gets weather in on it and the wires corrode in their covers.
How easy would it be to replace wiring harness for the heater resistor on a 2004 silverado?
Its very easy, go to your local GM parts counter and order a pigtail for the blower motor resistor harness, all you need to do is cut and connect the appropriate wires together and youll be all set.
What would happen if you never ever farted?
you would die
What does the variable resistor do in a circuit?
It is used to vary the voltage/current flow in a circuit.
What is a function of a resistor in a smoke detector?
Resistor have a definite function in circuits and because every resistor disspates power, it is not included in the circuit without good reason. Some smoke detectors have electronic circuits in them, and these would have resistors, but it is not possible to be more specific.
What would be a basic electical circuit?
a battery and a resistor connected together.
What would be different about the circuit if a resistor were added in series with the light bulbs?
The total current in the circuit will decrease.
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!
Will a circuit work if the resistance of the fixed resistor is larger than the resistance value of the thermistor?
In order to answer that, one would need to know what the circuit is designed to do (so that he would know how to tell when the circuit is "working"), and would also need to see the schematic diagram, in order to know exactly how the fixed resistor and the thermistor are configured in the circuit, and what other components are involved. Consider . . . If I came up to you on the street, or even for that matter in an Engineering lab, and I said to you "I've got a circuit with a coil and a resistor in it. Will it work if the impedance of the coil is greater than the resistance of the resistor ?", you would most certainly find yourself at a loss, just as I do when I read your question.
What is the usage of 330 ohm resistor?
No. It will not serve its intended purpose.
What would happen if the emitter resistor fails to open?
This is an overcurrent condition, correct? The real answer is, "well, it's not SUPPOSED to open!" Which is true--if the emitter resistor opens, the smoke (which, as we all know, is the thing that makes electrical devices work) gets out and the circuit stops working. If you're in an overcurrent condition sufficient to destroy parts and you don't lose the resistor, the transistor being serviced by the emitter resistor is destroyed. Having said that, the circuit should be designed so the bias current is low enough that it won't destroy parts.
What might happen to the bulb if you added too much batteries to the circuit?
Too much power is likely to burn out the bulb's filament, or shorten the bulb's life. A resistor of suitable rating, placed within the circuit, would help reduce the voltage to a more suitable level
What would happen if you stuck an insulator in the middle of a circuit?
the circuit would not be complete. the lightbulb would not light or the buzzer would not buzz
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What if you were to add a resistor to a series circuit that include a light bulb?
A resistor slows the flow of electricity, and converts the electrical energy into heat. You don't WANT heat - you want LIGHT, so we generally do not put resistors in lighting circuits. If there is a resistor in the circuit, it will cause some of the energy that would normally be converted to light to be converted into heat instead, so the light bulb will glow less brightly. A variable resistor in such a circuit is sometimes called a "dimmer".
