By observing any resistor, you can simply determine whether or not the resistor is strong, big, or good enough to work for long periods of time. In a similar situation, imagine a dog show. The dogs that are well groomed and well trained simply look better. Those dogs win and the same goes for resistors.

Why do resistors burn out?

Resistors can burn out due to excessive current flowing through them, which causes them to overheat and fail. This can happen either due to a component failure in the resistor itself, or as a result of external factors like a power surge or incorrect circuit design.


How to add a capacitor and resistor in parallel?

To add a capacitor and resistor in parallel, simply connect one terminal of the capacitor to one terminal of the resistor, and then connect the other terminal of the capacitor to the other terminal of the resistor. This creates a parallel circuit where both components share the same voltage.


What is the symbol for ldr?

The symbol for Light-Dependent Resistor (LDR) is a resistor symbol with photo-sensitive material added to one side. It looks like a regular resistor with one side having a shaded area to represent its light sensitivity.


What happens in a series circuit if one of the resistors is replaced with a resistor having a lower resistance value?

In a series circuit, if one resistor is replaced with a resistor of lower resistance, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This leads to an increase in the overall current flowing through the circuit.


How connect a variable resistor to circuit?

To connect a variable resistor to a circuit, identify the two terminals of the variable resistor. Connect one terminal to the input or output of the circuit where you want to adjust the resistance. Connect the other terminal to either the ground or another reference point depending on the circuit's design. Ensure that the resistance value on the variable resistor is adjusted as needed for your circuit application.

At what level will typical resistors burn out?

A typical resistor will burn out when it dissipates power in excess of double its power dissipation rating for an extended period of time. The power dissipated by a resistor is equal to I2R or E2/R, where E = the voltage across the resistor I = the current through the resistor R = the resistance of the resistor


Your car was leaking water on the resistor so you fixed the leak and replaced the resistor and in the mean time before the resistor got replace the fan would only kick on on the highest setting but on?

The old resistor was burned out. If you burn out the new one again, replace the blower motor.


How can one predict if a resister will burn out?

By the voltage meausured in each endpoint if strong it works if its weak it does not. Electrical Enginnering Institute. Oregon Washington.


Why would your blower fan resister stop working?

Because for each speed except the higgest one, to slow the motor of the fan, a resistor is choose and it's a big resistor, bigger to slow the speed and after long use or if the motor is defect (use to much currant), the resistor burn and no currant can pass trough


Why put an end resistor in fire detector loop?

Because if you dont you will burn and might get athsma Because if you dont you will burn and might get athsma Because if you dont you will burn and might get athsma


Most common failure in a resistor?

This depends on the type of resistor. Carbon composition and metal film resistors typically will burn open, carbon film types can short.


Why does resistor burn up?

cause its bad,replace with higher wattage rating.too much current !!


Will bad ballast resistor on a 1978 D100 make engine die?

Yes it can. If there is a bad wire in your harness the ballast resistor will get hot, in which causes your coil to overheat and cut out or burn outline.


What is damaged resistor?

A damaged resistor is one that it fried by current that is too high


How do you get to the blower motor on a 92 coupe corvette Also Where is the fan relay I only have one speed high?

Classic problem with the speed resistor! On the air transfer line near the motor you will see four wires on a plug. The resistor is on the other side of that plug. The plug will age and burn or the resistor is burnt. This leaves you with ONLY the high speed setting. The fix is cheap thankfully!


Why wouldn't the shunt resistor in the ammeter protect the ammeter when the ammeter is connected in parallel?

Connecting an ammeter in parallel subjects that ammeter to the full supply voltage. The shunt resistor is not designed to sustain that value of voltage and will burn out. Also, the clue is in the word 'shunt' (which means 'in parallel') which means that the coil will also burn out!


Air wont blow hard in truck anymore?

If it's a fan speed issue check the blower motor resistor & the blower motor. Check the plugs at the resistor and blower motor for burn marks also.
