They are used as a hard wired equivalent to binary switches for digital ID purposes along with enabling enabling optional PWB circuitry in various electronics that are not functionally included in a standard product but has the circuitry installed in the PWB.

What size resistor is needed to drop 24 volts dc to 12volts dc?

Its dependent what will by rated power of the device (current).


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.


Can a resistor be installed backwards?

Resistors can be installed in any direction in a circuit. It doesn't matter in which direction you are installing a resistor. Resistor will resist the current in both sides of the connection. You can also apply capacitor in any direction for alternating current. Where as if you are concerned with direct current, a direction is needed to apply the connection


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 the relation between the size of the resistor and its value?

There is no relation between the resistor's ohms value and its size. The power of the resistor can be seen by its size. If the power is too small, the resistor can be destroyed.

What does fuel pump resistor do?

A fuel pump resistor runs the fuel pump at a lower speed when the demand for fuel is lower. When more fuel is needed the system bypasses the resistor and allows the fuel pump to run at full speed.

How do you calculate the correct resistor value needed using 12vdc to run 6vdc circuit?

You need to drop 6 volts across the resistor. -- The resistor you need is 6/(the current in amps that your 6vdc device uses to operate) ohms. Example: If the device uses 1/2 Amp when it's running, then you need a 6/0.5 = 12-ohm resistor. -- And the power-dissipation rating of the resistor has to be at least 36/resistance watts. Example: For the 12-ohm resistor in the last example, it needs to be a (3-watt or more) resistor.

How connect a variable resistor to circuit?

To connect a variable resistor to a circuit, identify the two terminals of the variable resistor. Connect one terminal to the input or output of the circuit where you want to adjust the resistance. Connect the other terminal to either the ground or another reference point depending on the circuit's design. Ensure that the resistance value on the variable resistor is adjusted as needed for your circuit application.


What value resistor will you need?

To determine the value of the resistor needed, you would typically need to know the voltage across the resistor and the desired current flowing through it. The value can be calculated using Ohm's Law: resistance (in ohms) = voltage (in volts) / current (in amperes).
