To design a circuit with less resistance for more current flow, you can use conductive materials with lower resistance, increase the thickness of the wires, and minimize the length of the wires. Additionally, using components like resistors with lower resistance values can also help reduce overall resistance in the circuit.

What circuit fault allows current to flow but at a reduced rate?

A partial short circuit can allow current to flow at a reduced rate. This happens when there is a partial break in the circuit that does not completely prevent current flow but results in higher resistance and lower current flow than normal.


Which circuit element(s) are known as diodes and only allow current to flow through them in one direction?

Diodes are the circuit elements that only allow current to flow through them in one direction.


How is resistance affected as more branches are added to a parallel circuit?

in a parallel circuit, the relationship of resistance is thus: 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/RT where R1 and R2 are two resistors in parallel and RT is the total resistance in the circuit: Using this, as more branches are added, the resistance decreases This is because there is more ways for the current to flow and thus using the analogy of a water flow with a constraint on it (resistor in electrical circuits), a whole load of streams with the same constraint on each will allow more water through than one large stream with the same small constraint on it.


Does a good conductor has a high resistance?

No, a good conductor has a low resistance.


Do conductors or insulators have a lower resistance?

Conductors have lower resistance compared to insulators. Conductors allow electric current to flow easily due to the presence of free electrons that can move through the material, while insulators have high resistance as they do not allow the flow of electric current easily.

Can inserting a resistor in a circuit have an effect similar to an open circuit?

If the resistance is large enough, then there might not be enough voltage difference to allow much current. Since, Voltage = Current * Resistance, if resistance goes really large, and your voltage doesn't change, your current must decrease. An open circuit is where you do not have any current flowing, so whether no current verses very little current is the same is up to you.


What happened if AVR current sensing fails?

If you mean current sensing using an AVR microprocessor then that entirely depends on the circuit design. A good design would detect the failiure and shut down the current, a bad design would allow the current to flow unchecked and potentially destroy the circuit.


Why semiconductor is uses for most of the electronics circuit?

Semiconductors allow for the control of the flow of current and voltage by the use of resistance.

What happens to the current in circuit as the resistance increases?

Current decreasesWhen voltage remains constant and resistance increases the current in the circuit will reduce.More informationV=IRwhere V is voltage,I is current andR is resistance.From the above equation,R=V/I, and hence resistance is indirectly proportional to current.Therefore, an increase in resistance would have the effect of decreased current.NB: this holds true only as long as the voltage remains constant.Another opinionHowever, this is only true in the case of a circuit connected in series.When circuits are connected in parallel, the opposite happens. If there is an increase in the amount of resistors in parallel, the total resistance of the circuit then decreases and the current increases subsequently.Yet another viewNo, that's not stated right.If more resistors are added in parallel - so that the circuit's overall total resistance decreases and its total current increases - that is NOT in any way the opposite of what this question is asking about...Let's make this crystal clear, so that there is no confusion: "an increase in the amount of resistors" is NOT the same as "an increase in resistance".So a parallel circuit behaves EXACTLY the same as a series circuit: if its overall resistance increases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit decreases AND if its overall resistance decreases, the overall current going through the parallel circuit increases.Actually, the second opinion is correctIn a parallel circuit, there are more branches to allow electrons back to the power supply, so current increases. With more resistors in a circuit, the overall resistance in a parallel circuit DECREASES.In a series circuit, current is the same throughout. So if more resistors are added, resistance INCREASES and so current DECREASES.


The part of a circuit that closes or opens a circuit?

Generally a circuit breaker (like a light switch) But I guess you could use a resistor of the right resistance If you are talking about the circuit breaker there is an electromagnetic coil in it which get magnetized on a specific amount of current and breaks the circuit


What will be the impedance of a C-R circuit consisting of a resistance of 20ohm and capacitance 2microfarad when it is connected to direct current?

In a direct current (DC) circuit, a capacitor will eventually charge up and act as an open circuit, meaning it will not allow current to flow after reaching full charge. As a result, the impedance of a resistor-capacitor (C-R) circuit under DC conditions is simply the resistance value. Therefore, the impedance of the given C-R circuit with a resistance of 20 ohms and a capacitance of 2 microfarads is 20 ohms.


What effect if any does connecting an ammeter in series with a resistor in a circuit have on the current through the resistor?

The Amp meter was design to allow current flow through the meter to measure with a minimal alteration to the original circuit. That is the ideal world, in reality the meter has some resistance and will lower the current flow. The multiple current setting on most meter will reduce the effects caused by the meter but you must be careful not to damage the meter by reading to high for the setting.

How a multimeter be connected in order to measure resistance?

A: A multimeter is an instrument design to measure ohms volts and amps. So to measure amps a shunt is provided to allow a sample of the current to be measured as a function of voltage.

What are resistors?

A resistor is an electrical device that limits current in a circuit. It converts electrical energy into thermal energy (heat), and drops voltage. Conductors in an electrical circuit allow current to flow through them will little resistance. The medium in a resistor, the resistive material, is not a good conductor, and will "resist" the current that wants to flow through it. This is how it limits current in a circuit. A resistor is rated according to its resistance and it ability to dissipate heat. It will be rated in ohms of resistance and in watts. A one ohm resistor will allow one amp of current to flow through it when one volt is applied across it. It will generate one watt of thermal energy, which it will have to dissipate as heat.A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as a transistor.
