Can resistors function the same in AC circuits as in DC circuits?

Yes, they both can add a load to a circuit.


What are the resistors on a blower motor?

Resistors on a blower motor are components used to control the speed of the motor by adjusting the voltage supplied to it. They function by dissipating excess voltage as heat, allowing for variable speed settings in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Typically found in the blower motor circuit, these resistors can be in the form of fixed resistors or resistor packs, depending on the design of the system. Proper functioning of these resistors is crucial for efficient blower operation and overall system performance.


Why PT Burden is always higher than CT Burden?

PTs are high voltage, low current transformers and so need a relatively high impedance (or burden) load to function accurately. CTs are high current, low voltage (if not open circuited!) transformers and so need a very low impedance load to function accurately.


What are those materials of resistors?

most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors


What is resistor function?

In an electronic circuit power supply voltage is generally fixed. Resistors is a current limiter for correct devices polarization.


What happens if 3 resistors connected in parallel and one of the resistors is open circuited?

When one resistor in a parallel circuit is open-circuited, it effectively becomes an infinite resistance and no current flows through it. The total resistance of the parallel circuit increases, but the remaining resistors continue to function normally. The overall current through the circuit will decrease because the total current is now only dependent on the remaining active resistors. The voltage across all parallel resistors remains the same as before the open circuit occurred.


Is potentiometer and Thermistor are variable resistors. How please explain?

A: A potentiometer is a manual device to change the resistance A thermistor changes as a function of environment temperature


How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?

The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.


What is the advantage of film resistors over carbon resister?

Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.


What are Resistors wired in series?

Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.


Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?

Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.


Do Resistors have no polarity restrictions?

Resistors do not have polarity restrictions because they are passive devices that limit the flow of electric current. You can connect them in any orientation within an electric circuit without affecting their function.
