Answer

It depends how they are connected.

In series, ther total resistance will be 220 ohms and, so, the current will be 120/220 = 0.545 A.

In parallel, ther total resistance will be 20 ohms and, so, the current will be 120/20 = 6 A.

What type of meter would be connected on both sides to a resistor in a current?

A multimeter set to measure current (in amperes or milliamperes) would be connected in series to the resistor to measure the current flowing through it. The multimeter would be placed in series with the resistor to accurately measure the current passing through it.


What A 120 v power supply connected to a 10 ohm resistor will produce blank amps of current?

The current flowing through the resistor can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states: Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R). Plugging in the values given, the current would be 12 amps.


How can a variable resistor be used to control the brightness of light?

A variable resistor can be connected in series with a light bulb in a circuit. By adjusting the resistance of the variable resistor, the current flowing through the circuit changes, affecting the brightness of the light bulb. Increasing the resistance decreases the current, resulting in lower brightness, while decreasing the resistance increases the current, leading to higher brightness.


What is the purpose of the series resistor in a voltmeter?

The purpose of the series resistor in a voltmeter is to limit the current flowing through the voltmeter and protect it from damage due to excessive current.


Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?

Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.

In a simple series circuit where you have a 9V supply connected to a negative terminal with about 2 amps of current flowing you have a resistor of 100 ohms in between the 9V supply and 0V?

If a 9V supply is connected to a 100-ohm resistor, then the current is not 2 Amps,or even close to it.I = E/R = 9/100 = 0.09 amp.


When two identical cells are connected either in series or parallel across a 2 ohm resistor they send the same current through it calculate the internal resistance of each cell?

as the given cells have the same current flowing in through them (current flowing through the cells connected in series is equal to the current flowing when connected in parallel ) equate the formula's of cells connected in series and cells connected in parallel.thus by equating we get the value of the internal resistor as 2 ohms.

What is the current drop across the resistor?

The correct question is what is the voltage drop across a resistor or the current flowing through the resistor using Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance


What is resistor and its use and working?

resistor is a passive component which opposes the current flowing through a closed ckt. use in opposition of current in ckt .


Why does a resistor heat up when an electric current flows through it?

Current moving through a resistor causes it to heat up because of the flowing electrons bumping into the atoms in the resistor.


Is current is drop when it flowing through the resistor?

Current flows in loops, voltage drops across elements. With relation to current, what flows in, must flow out, so no, current is not dropped across a resistor, it flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across the resistor.


Why ohm-meter can't read the resistance value when current flowing through a resistor?

ohm meter puts current thru a resistor to measure voltage drop E / I = R if the circuit already has current flowing the numbers are meaningless
