Power supply: Water pump, producing pressure at its output valve.

Resistor: A section of pipe. Flow of water loses energy on the way through, due to friction with the pipe's interior wall.

Potential difference: Difference in water pressure between the beginning and end of the pipe section.

How to find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit?

To find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). So, you can calculate the potential difference by multiplying the current flowing through the resistor by the resistance value of the resistor.


What device creates a potential difference in an electric circuit?

A battery is the device that creates a potential difference in an electric circuit. It establishes an electric field within the circuit that allows charges to move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, creating an electrical current.


What is the potential difference across a single 4 Ohm resistor if the source voltage is 230v?

the potential difference across the single 4ohm resistor is 230volts.


How does the potential difference in the resistor change as the current through it changes?

The potential difference accross the resistor changes mainly due to gradual increase accumulation of electrons in the lower potential region which will in turn affect the potential gradient as the current flows through the resistor


What is the potential difference across a 1500 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.075 A?

Potential Difference across a resistor is given by, Potential Difference = Resistance * Current = 1500 * 0.075 = 112.5 Volts


How is the potential difference across a resistor measured?

by using voltmeter


When the current traveling through a resistor is increased what happens to the voltage that travels through the same resistor?

Your question reveals fundamental misunderstandings about the nature of electricity.'Voltage' is simply another word for 'potential difference', and a potential difference appears across opposite ends of the resistor; it doesn't 'travel through' that resistor! Current, on the other hand, DOES 'travel through' the resistor and is caused by the potential difference across the resistor.Resistance is the ratio of potential difference to current. So if the resistance remians unchanged when the current through it doubles, then it has happened because the potential difference has doubled.


Potential difference across resistor is doubled?

If the potential difference across a resistor is doubled, the current flowing through the resistor will also double, assuming its resistance remains constant. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, where current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is held constant.
