What is the relationship between resistance and current in a resistive circuit?

:) It's connected together


Why does copper have a low resistance?

Because it is a metal so has lots of free electrons which when connected to a circuit detach from the atoms and move around the circuit. This produces a high current, so resistance will be low as current is high.


What change occurred to the total resistance of the circuit when the extra globe was added?

When an extra globe is added to a circuit, the total resistance depends on how the globes are connected. If they are connected in series, the total resistance increases because the resistances add together. If they are connected in parallel, the total resistance decreases, as the overall resistance is reduced by the additional path for current flow. Therefore, the change in total resistance depends on the configuration of the globes in the circuit.


How is an ohmmeter connected to a circuit?

ANY METER needs some kind of current flow to operate. Internal in the meter there are batteries that provide current that when passed trough a resistor will develop voltage as a function of the current. the meter will read this current and display the resistor size to cause this current to flow.


Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?

Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.

How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?

The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.


What is the net resistance of the circuit connected to the battery in Figure 1?

The net resistance of the circuit connected to the battery in Figure 1 is the total resistance that the current encounters when flowing through the circuit. It is calculated by adding up the individual resistances of all the components in the circuit.


When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?

The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.


How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?

The current in a 220 volt circuit depends on the resistance of the load connected to it. Ohm's Law (I = V/R) states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). So, the current will vary based on the resistance of the circuit.


When an ammeter is connected to measure current circuit current will decrease sightly because R total decreases after the meter is inserted?

Current will be decreased because of the resistance of the ammeter added to the circuit's resistance. In other words total resistance increases.

How does the concept of parallel resistors connected to the same voltage source affect the overall resistance in a circuit?

When resistors are connected in parallel to the same voltage source, the overall resistance in the circuit decreases. This is because the current has multiple paths to flow through, reducing the total resistance that the current encounters.


Why would never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?

If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.

What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?

Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)


You are just asking that let us assume you have connected 2 or 3 resistors in a circuit and the current flowing through the circuit and from all the resistors will be same but how?

If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
