What is the meaning of resistor?
Resistors are one of the three basic electronic components. They restrict the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Fixed resistors have a fixed value of resistance, and are used in almost every electronic circuit for lots of different reasons.
Will a circuit work if the resistance of the fixed resistor is larger than the resistance value of the thermistor?
In order to answer that, one would need to know what the circuit is designed to do (so that he would know how to tell when the circuit is "working"), and would also need to see the schematic diagram, in order to know exactly how the fixed resistor and the thermistor are configured in the circuit, and what other components are involved. Consider . . . If I came up to you on the street, or even for that matter in an Engineering lab, and I said to you "I've got a circuit with a coil and a resistor in it. Will it work if the impedance of the coil is greater than the resistance of the resistor ?", you would most certainly find yourself at a loss, just as I do when I read your question.
A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?
A resistor.
DC voltage of 120 volts is feeding series circuit consisting of 2-ohm 6-ohm and 8-ohm regular resistors a variable resistor For line ammeter to indicate 1.5 amp the variable resistor must be fixed?
If the DC voltage of 120 volts is feeding series circuit consisting of 2-ohm, 6-ohm, and 8-ohm regular resistors, the variable resistor for line ammeter to indicate 1.5 amp, the variable resistor must be fixed before the amp.
What is series dropping resistor?
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.

What is a fixed bias circuit?
it is a switching device that need a current..so u will need a resistor to open the switch..

Why resistor should disconnected from the circuit when measured the value of resistor?
if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.
What is resistor function?
In an electronic circuit power supply voltage is generally fixed. Resistors is a current limiter for correct devices polarization.
What parts of a circuit acts as a resistor?
Any part of a circuit that has a voltage drop across it is a resistor.
A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?
A resistor.
What is the difference between a fixed resistor and a variable resistor?
its the colour of the fixed and the variable we define it by its power and name
Can a fixed resistor be used as a dimmer in a lighting circuit and if no what can be?
No. A fixed resistor cannot be used as a dimmer in a lighting circuit. Depending on the dimming setting, you would need to dissipate substantial power across the resistor. What you need instead is some kind of pulse width modulated device, such as an SCR or TRIAC, or switching power supply, that does not dissipate a lot of power when it is turned on, because it operates in saturated mode, but the average power delivered to the load is what you want it to be.
What does the variable resistor do in a circuit?
It is used to vary the voltage/current flow in a circuit.
