Does voltage flow across or through a resistor?

No. If a voltage is applied across a resistor, a current flows through it.


Is current is drop when it flowing through the resistor?

Current flows in loops, voltage drops across elements. With relation to current, what flows in, must flow out, so no, current is not dropped across a resistor, it flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across the resistor.


A 4000-Ω resistor is connected across 220 V what current will flow?

A 4000-Ω resistor is connected across 220 V will have a current flow of 0.055 A.Ohm's law: Voltage equals Current times Resistance


What is the current flow if you apply 12v across a 68 ohm resistor?

0.1764 amps


What does resistor perform?

A resistor's resistance is measured in ohms. The higher the resistance the less current will flow with a constant voltage applied across the resistor. In terms of Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance.


How do you install a resistor in an DC circuit?

It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.


How much current will flow through a 12 ohm resistor if 6 volts are applied across it?

Voltage / Resistance = Current, you do the math


Why is there no flow of electric current between 2 objects of equal resistance?

I am not sure how the two objects of equal resistance are supposed to be connected. But for a current to flow, for example across a resistor, there must be a voltage difference between the terminals of this resistor.


Does a resister use current?

It may be better to say that a resistor allows current flow through itself rather than to say that a resistor is a device that will "use" current. It does "resist" current flow, and thus limits it to some degree depending on its resistance. (More resistance means more limiting of current flow.) The resistor "drops voltage" as well limits current. A resistor "feels voltage" from some source, and the voltage it "feels" is said to be the "voltage drop" of the resistor. The voltage drop is the voltage that could be measured across that resistor with a meter.


How does an ammeter work?

An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.


Why is an electromagnet a resistor?

An electromagnet is not a resistor; they are two different components in an electrical circuit. An electromagnet uses electric current to create a magnetic field, while a resistor resists the flow of electric current, which causes a voltage drop across it.


Basic concept of resistor?

resistor is to resists the flow of current
