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

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


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.

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.


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.


What is carbon composition?

Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.
