Two 20K resistors R1 and R2 are in series across a 100 volt supply what would the voltage be across R1 if measured with a digital voltmeter with an internal resistance of 1M?

The voltage across R1 would be 50 volts. This is because the voltage divider rule states that the voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is proportional to its resistance relative to the total resistance in the circuit. In this case, since both resistors are the same (20K), the voltage across each resistor will be half of the total supply voltage.


What are those different power ratings for the same resistance?

The amount of current that will pass through a resistance is dependant upon the voltage applied across the resistance. Voltage devided by resistance equals current. This is Ohm's Law.


How do you find the voltage?

Voltage can be found using Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) flowing through a circuit multiplied by the resistance (R) of the circuit: V = I x R. It can also be measured directly using a voltmeter connected across the components of interest in the circuit.


If voltage is high will the resistance be high?

The electric resistance is related to the diameter and extension of the wire submitted to a determined voltage which will determine the electric current flowing into the wire.AnswerVoltage has no effect on resistance. Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a material (resistivity is affected by temperature, so temperature indirectly affect resistance).


What does voltage equal?

V=IR To calculate your voltage drop (V), you multiply your resistance (R, measured in Ohms) and current (I, measured in Amps [A]) by each other the. The number you are left with should be your voltage drop.

What does resistor perform?

A resistor's resistance is measured in ohms. The higher the resistance the less current will flow with a constant voltage applied across the resistor. In terms of Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance.


How does the voltage measured across a dry cell ompare with the voltage drop measured across three bulbs in series?

The voltage measured across a dry cell is the total voltage output of the cell, typically around 1.5 volts. When three bulbs are connected in series, the total voltage drop across the bulbs will be the same as the voltage output of the dry cell. So, the voltage measured across the dry cell is equal to the voltage drop measured across the three bulbs in series.


What unit is a Diode measured in?

Diodes are measured in terms of resistance. The formula is as follows Rd = Vd / Id. That is Resistance of the diode = voltage across the diode to current flowing throught the diode.


Which will normally have the larger resistance a voltmeter or an ammeter?

A voltmeter has the large resistance.The voltage across any component can be measured if & only if the terminals of that component will be open and this will we can acheiv if we connect the high resistance voltmeter across the open terminals of that component to measure the voltage.


The voltage measured directly across an open switch in a circuit will be?

The voltage measured across an open in a series circuit is the equivalent of the sourse voltage.


What is the voltage across a 60.0 ohm resistor with a current of 3 13 amp?

V = IR Voltage (V, measured in volts) = Current (I measured in amps) times Resistance (R, measured in Ohms) Is your current 3.13? I'm not sure what you wrote there, but just multiply your current times your resistance.


How calculate unknown resistance?

-- Connect a source of known, small voltage across the ends of the unknown resistance. -- Measure the resulting current through the unknown resistance. -- Divide (small known voltage)/(measured current). The quotient is the formerly unknown resistance.


What is the measured voltage across the 680 ohms resistor?

No one is going to be able to tell you that. You are looking for the measured voltage, so go and measure it. In any case, if you were just looking for the voltage it will depend on the circuit current. You can work it out using ohms law (Voltage = Current * Resistance).


What is the relationship between voltage and MA?

The "current" through any conductor is voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance .The current is measured in "Amperes" (amps)."MA" stands for "Milliamps". There are 1,000 of those in one whole ampere.So, the current through a conductor is1,000 times the voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance . . . in MA


What is the difference between the terminal voltage and the source voltage?

the source voltage is the voltage that measured exactly after the voltage source , but the terminal voltage is the voltage that measured in the load terminals , which equal to the source voltage minus the drop voltage on the transmission line .


When three resistors are connected in series the amount of voltage that is measured across each one is determine by what?

The voltage drop across each resistor is determined by the amounts of resistance in the 3 resistors and all the rest of the resistances in the electrical circuit.


What is a IR drop across a resistance?

IR drop across a resistance is voltage. The letter I means current, and the letter R means resistance. Current times resistance, by Ohm's law is voltage.
