Combination of Resistors

Cards (12)

  • ▪is a passive electrical component with the primary function to limit the flow of electric current
    resistor
  • ▪ may be connected in series and in parallel with each other or in a combination of both series and parallel▪ may be connected in series and in parallel with each other or in a combination of both series and parallel
    resistor
  • ▪is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circui
    Resistance
  • Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
  • Electric Circuit is a group of electrical components that are connected together to form a complete path for current
  • current flows in one direction
    DIRECT CIRCUIT
  • the direction of the current of the voltage is always constant
    DIRECT CIRCUIT
  • current flowing through the circuit constantly changes direction and magnitude
    ALTERNATING CIRCUIT
  • the direction of the current is always switched periodically and the voltage is also switched
    ALTERNATING CIRCUIT
  • a circuit that contains more than one electrical component connected one after the other in a single path
    Series Circuit
  • the current flows in a single path and is the same in all parts of the circuit
    series circuit
  • ▪ each component operates independently of the others
    Parallel Circuit
