Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?
The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.
How does a resistor limit current or voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor limits current in an electrical circuit by impeding the flow of electrons, which reduces the amount of current passing through it. This, in turn, helps regulate the voltage in the circuit by creating a drop in voltage across the resistor.
How does a resistor reduce voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces voltage in an electrical circuit by converting some of the electrical energy into heat. This process slows down the flow of electricity, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
How does a resistor affect the flow of electricity in a circuit: does a resistor reduce voltage or current?
A resistor affects the flow of electricity in a circuit by reducing the current that flows through it. This reduction in current leads to a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
What work resistor?
when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.
Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?

What parts of a circuit acts as a resistor?
Any part of a circuit that has a voltage drop across it is a resistor.

How do you measure current without an amp meter?
Depends on the current. Put a resistor in-line with the current, then measure the voltage across the resistor. V=RI. So, divide the measured voltage by resistor value. Be careful with the size of the resistor, as Power dissipated in a resistor is R*I^2 or V^2/2. So, a 1-Amp current into a 1 Ohm resistor will result in a 1Watt power dissipated in the resistor. If it's too small, it'll burn. Also, notice that if you do that, you haven't measured the current in the original circuit. You've measured the current when an extra resistor is installed in the original circuit, and that's different.
How does a resistor reduce voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces voltage in an electrical circuit by converting some of the electrical energy into heat. This process slows down the flow of electricity, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
Are resistor drops the voltage or current?
Resistors drop voltage by creating a voltage difference across themselves. This voltage drop is determined by the resistance value of the resistor and the current flowing through it, according to Ohm's Law (V=IR). The current passing through a resistor remains constant if the resistor is in series with other components in a circuit.
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).
How does a resistor affect the flow of electricity in a circuit: does a resistor reduce voltage or current?
A resistor affects the flow of electricity in a circuit by reducing the current that flows through it. This reduction in current leads to a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
What is a function of a resistor in a fire alarm circuit?
A resistor in a sensor circuit is used as a simple way to monitor the function of the circuit. The resistor has a calibrated and known voltage drop and current while the circuit is "normal". If there is a short-circuit, or an open-circuit, the voltage and current will change and trigger the trouble alarm.
If the resistance in the circuit is increased what will happen to the current and voltage?
* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.
