Does increasing the voltage across a resistor increase the electric current through the resistor?
Resistance is not affected by either voltage or current. It is determined only by the cross-sectional area, length, and resistivity of the material. As resistivity is affected by temperature, resistance is indirectly affected by temperature.
In the so-called 'Ohm's Law' equation, resistance is a constant. So, if you increase voltage, the resistance remains constant, and the current would increase in proportional to the voltage.
How much current flows through a resistor with zero potential difference?
No current flows when the the voltage is zero.
In a circuit the voltage across all resistores is the same?
It depends upon the connection of the resistors, if the resistors are connected in parallel then the voltage is same where as in case of resistors connected in series the voltage is different across different resistors.
What conservation laws governs kirchhoff's loop rule?
Kirchoff's first rule is a demonstration of law of conservation of charge and his
second rule is a demonstration of law of conservation of energy.
How much current at 240 volts passes through a wire with a resistance of 100 ohms?
current = voltage/resistance
Assuming the 240 volts is across the 100 ohm wire, 2.4 amperes
power = current * voltage
Resulting in the wire dissipating 576 watts... One hot wire!
For an electrical device, such as a lamp for example, to operate at its rated power, it must be supplied with its rated voltage. If several such devices are to be connected to the same circuit, the only way to achieve this requirement is to connect the devices in parallel (because the same voltage appears across each branch of a parallel circuit). Furthermore, with parallel connections, if one device should fail (or simply get switched off), all the other devices will continue to operate normally. These are the two reasons why most practical circuits are parallel circuits.
Series circuits are less common but can be used for some lighting circuits (e.g. Christmas decorations) in which case the supply voltage is distributed equally across each of the lamps, which then have appropriately-rated voltages. For example, you may have twenty-four, 10-V lamps, connected in series across a 240-V supply.
A trimmer resistor usually called a trim pot is a small variable resistor it is used in circuits to do preset it is trimmed with a trimmer screwdriver it is made up with a round fiber disc with a layer of carbon with a wiper that run on the carbon layer to change the resistance it always have 3 connecting pins where the center one is connected to the wiper and the other two to opposite ends of the carbon strip.
How do you find the current going into a resistor?
You can find the current by using an ammeter. The cheapest way (although more invasive) is to use a probe type ammeter or multimeter. To use, you need to insert the meter in the current path of the resistor (in series with the resistor). These meters are fairly cheap - as low as $8 if you shop around. If it is not feasible to break the circuit and insert the meter, and you have room around a wire going to the resistor, you could use a clamp on ammeter as well. These are typically more expensive.
If you understand resistor codes, you can also use a volt meter/multimeter to measure the voltage drop across the resistor (put the probe in parallel with the resistor). The current should be equivalent to I = V / R.
If you don't know resistor codes, do an online search to match colors with numbers. There should be three stripes. The first two are the resistance and the third is a magnitude. For example, if the first color matches the number 1, and the second matches 8, and the third matches 3, then this is a 18 x 1000 = 1.8k ohm resistor.
Why the current is equal in each resistor of a series circuit?
where else it would go through.....
the current entering the first resistor must pass through the next preceding resistors in order to reach the positive/+ve potential so as to complete the circuit.
Current flow is the actual flow of electrons so it goes from the ground (negative most point) to th emost positive point. lectrons are a negatve charged unit so they travel towards the positive point.
What is decade resistance box?
It is used to dial in a specific resistance within the range of the box. It can be used wherever you need a resistor of an unknown value or a precise value. Most decade boxes provide reistance with .01% of the desired resistance. I've used them to balance a wheatstone bridge that had a tiny mV offset.
State Kirchoffs voltage and current law?
Kirchoffs Current Law : [KCL]
This law is also called Kirchhoff's point rule, Kirchhoff's junction rule (or nodal rule), and Kirchhoff's first rule. The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that: : At any point in an electrical circuit that does not represent a capacitor plate, the sum of currents flowing towards that point is equal to the sum of currents flowing away from that point. Kirchoffs Voltage Law : [KVL]
This law is also called Kirchhoff's second law, Kirchhoff's loop (or mesh) rule, and Kirchhoff's second rule. : The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around any closed circuit must be zero.
Kirchoffs Laws are widely used in the Electrical and Electronic engineering fields.
Hope this helps =)
How much voltage is required to cause 8mill of current to flow through a 10kilo resistor?
V = IR
= 8x10-3 (8 mA) * 10x103 (10k)
= 80v
By Ohm's Law, current is voltage divided by resistance, so if you double both the voltage and the resistance, the current would remain the same.
Do additional resistors affect power?
Of course. Additional resistors change total resistance, which changes current, which affects power.
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R.
An
A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage.
In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
Resistance:
Electrical resistance describes how an electrical conductor (a wire) opposes the flow of an electrical current (flow of electrons). To overcome this opposition a voltage (a energy) must dropped (used) across the conductor (wire). Resistance can be described by ohms law:
Ohms Law: R = V / I (Resistance = Voltage / Current) (resistance measured in ohms)
where:
Voltage [V]= the energy lost across an component (voltage measured in volts).
Current [I] = the charge (electrons) flowing through an component (current measured in Amps).
Electrical resistance can be thought of as sticking your hand out a car window. The faster [current] you drive the harder the wind presses [resistance] against you hand and therefore it takes more energy [voltage] to hold your hand steady.
When trying to overcome electrical resistance, the electrical energy lost is turned into heat. This is how the elements of a household stove, toaster, and fan heater work. Because of the vacuum in a light bulb, the electrical energy lost is instead turned into light. It can be seen the electrical resistance plays a large role in modern life.
Resistor:
The resistor is the most common electronic component and is used to limit and/or control the voltage and current in an electronic circuit. Resistors are carefully manufactured to provide a predetermined value of electrical resistance which may range from 0.1 ohms to 100,000,000 ohms, depending on the application. The physical size of a resistor also varies dependant on the amount of power passing through the resistor, given by:
P = V x I (Power = Voltage x Current) (power measured in watts)
There are also many types of resistors including:
· Variable Resistor - changes resistance when its shaft is rotated (volume knob on a stereo).
· Thermistor - changes resistance when the temperature changes (used in a thermostat).
· Light Dependant Resistor (LDR) - changes resistance when the lighting changes (used in children's night-lights).
Resistor Example:
An LED is a small red light (such as the one on the front of most TVs) and requires 2.0 volts and 0.02 amps to operate correctly. If we connected that LED up directly to a 12 volt battery, the voltage would be too high, and too much current would flow... the LED would blow up. We need to use a resistor to limit the voltage and current.
But which value of resistance should the have resistor? Uses ohms law:
R = V / I = (12.0 - 2.0) / 0.02 = 500 ohms
(Note: the voltage across the resistor is the battery voltage minus the voltage we want across the LED)
But which value of power should the resistor be capable of handling?
P = V x I = (12.0 - 2.0) / 0.02 = 0.2 Watts

Electric locks not working in 1999 astro van?
does the lock on the passenger door still work? if nothing from either door then check every fuse on the car. if all fuses are good then check the power door lock relay in the right front kick panel. if not that then remove door panel and check if the motor will work with direct current to the lock.
A: In a series circuit the current remains the same for each components only the voltage across each component will change and only if the components are of different value.
