Best Answer

A resistor is not polarity sensitive, and may be installed in either direction.

That's why resistors don't have pluses ( + ) or minuses ( - ) printed on them.

Does it matter which way round a resistor is connected in the circuit?

No it doesn't


Why emitter follower is called so?

Because of the geometry of the common collector configuration, changes in base voltage appear at the emitter. Said another way, what happens at the base pretty much happens at the emitter, and the emitter can be said to "mirror" or "follow" the base. The emitter is a follower of the base, and the name emitter follower appeared and was used.


How it is possible to make a constant current source?

ANSWER: one way tie a zener x volts from B+ to ground with a resistor. that gives you a reference voltage using an PNP tie the base to the reference voltage collector goes to the load and the emitter is tied to +B trough a resistor Since the emitter follows the base then the current should be +B volts -zener voltage - Vbe or .6 v. that is it.


Define zero ohm resistor.?

A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance. My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.


What remains constant in series circuit?

A: No matter how many resistor of different value are inserted the current will remain the same for each. The voltage drop will vary with the difference in resistors and i a parallel path is found along the way the current will divide according to the resistors values

What direction does a resistor go around in an electrical circuit?

It doesn't matter which way round you place it.


On a Chevy 350which side of the flex plate faces the motor?

Doesnt matter, the flexplate can be installed either way..


Is a resistor the same as a diode blocker?

No... Diode block one way... resistor block eitherway.


Are resistor drops the voltage or current?

Resistors drop voltage by creating a voltage difference across themselves. This voltage drop is determined by the resistance value of the resistor and the current flowing through it, according to Ohm's Law (V=IR). The current passing through a resistor remains constant if the resistor is in series with other components in a circuit.


Which out of either the cccb or the ce configurations of a transistor is best and why?

The common emitter configuration works best because of the way the segments of transistors are biased, and the fact that there are more carriers in the collector than in the emitter.


Does it matter which direction the front driveshaft is installed on a 1999 Dodge Dakota 4x4?

It will only fit one way.It will only fit one way.


What is Light dependence resistor?

A LDR or light dependant resistor is a resistor that works when light is not shining on it, so if there is light on it it will not resist a current, you can also get them to work the other way.


Is a resistor an input?

A Resistor does exactly what the name suggests, it creates resistance. More precisely, it creates resistance for the flow of electrons, effectively limiting the amount of current flowing through it(and via ohms law, limits voltage). To answer the question, A resistor isn't an input or output device, it behaves the same way no matter how you turn it and it can be placed on the input of a component(or circuit) aswell as the output.
