What is the total resistance of a 6-ohm resistor and a 12-ohm resistor in a parallel series?
In series like so ---6 ohms ---- 12 ohms --- , the total resistance is just 6 ohms + 12 ohms.assuming you mean in parallel like this:_|---6 ohms-----|-|~|-_|---12 ohms---|then the resistance of this can be calculated like so:1/6 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R (where R is the resistance of the circuit as a whole)2/12 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R3/12 ohms = 1/R1/4 ohms = 1/Rso R = 4 ohmsA few notes, if the resistors are in parallel the total resistance will always be less than or equal to the lowest resistance in parallel (i.e 6 ohms in parallel with 12 ohms will have resistance less than 6 ohms).Also if two resistances in parallel are the same, then the resistance is half of the resistance of both resistors (i.e. 1/2 ohms + 1/2 ohms = 1/R; 1 = 1/R, R=1 ohm which is half of 2 ohms).This process can be extended to 2 or more resistors in parallel.i.e if we had a 6 ohm, 6 ohm and 12 ohm resistor in parallel we could go1/6 ohms + 1/6 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R(1/6 ohms + 1/6 ohms) + 1/12 ohms = 1/R1/3 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R4/12ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R5/12 ohms = 1/Rso R = 12/5 ohms or 2.4 ohms
Five resistors are connected together in series One resistor is 2 ohms one is 3 ohms one is 4 ohms one is 5 ohms and the fifth is 6 ohms What is the total resistance?
Purely additive. 2+3+4+5+6=20.
If you have flow of electricity which is 5 volts and 2.6k ohms what is the current?
I = V/R 5 volts / 2600 ohms = .00192 or round to .002.
What is the value of a resistor color coded red-violet-silver-gold?
Yellow is 4, Violet is 7, Violet is 7, Gold is 5% tolerence. 470,000,000 Ohms.
What is the total current in a circuit that has two heating elements that have a resistance of 5 ohms and 20 ohms the elements are connected in parallel with each other and connected to a 200 volt pow?
5 ohms in parallel with 20 ohms is 4 ohms. 4 ohms across 200 volts is 50 amperes. However, resistance is a function of temperature, so the 4 ohms will probably be higher, reducing the current. How much depends on the temperature coefficient of the loads.
How do you check for continuity with a volt meter?
1. Turn off all power to the circuit you want to test. If the circuit has a built-in power storage device, like a capacitor, discharge the electricity from the circuit before testing. 2. Plug the black lead into the common terminal (marked "CDM") on the voltmeter. Plug the red lead into Volts/Ohms terminal (marked with a "V" or a "V" and the Greek letter omega, the symbol for "ohms") on the meter. 3. Turn the voltmeter on. The meter will automatically select a range, or you can manually select Volts AC, Volts DC, Amps AC or Amps DC. 4. Touch the black lead to one end of the circuit you are testing. Touch the red lead to the other end of the circuit. If the voltmeter shows less than 210 ohms of resistance, continuity exists. 5. If the resistance is higher than 210 ohms, you can move the leads to isolate the break in continuity, until you come to a point where the resistance is less than 210 ohms, indicating continuity in the circuit between the red and black leads.
The resistance of earth wire in ohm is?
5 ohms or less.
What number is more than 5 but less than 3?
There are no numbers that are more than 5 but less than 3. 3 is less than 5, so anything that is less than 3 is also less than 5.

What gauge wire for 220Volt 50A underground run for 350 feet?
The voltage drop must be less than 5%, which is 11 volts. Thus the total resistance must equal 11/50 ohms or less, that is 11 volts divided by 50 amps. For a two-wire line the total wire length is 700 feet so the required resistance per foot is 11/(50*700) ohms per foot, or 0.000314 ohms per foot, equal to 0.001 ohms per metre for a single wire. A wire of 1 sq. mm. cross section has a resistance of 0.0168 ohms per metre, we need .001 ohms per metre, therefore the wire needs a cross section of more than 16.8 mm sq. In the USA that means the necessary wire size is 5 AWG.
