You can use ohm's law, which says I=E/R. You should find how many volts that the power supply is, then find out the current flow through the wires. if the current flow is not what it should be, then your resistor is not working properly. Therefore the resitor would be the problem.

.Use Ohm's law to find the applied voltage if the current is 5 amperes and the resistance is 3 Ohms?

ohms law states V = I*R; V = (.005)(1000) = 5volts.


A desktop computer and monitor together draw about 0.6 A of current They plug into a wall outlet that is 120 V What is the resistance in ohms of the computermonitor combination?

To find the resistance in a circuit, use the equation R = V/I, where R is the resistence in ohms, V is the voltage, and I is the current in amps. Therefore, your equation is R = 120/0.6. Therefore, the resistance is 200 ohms. Hope this helps


If a ac circuit was a captive circuit you would know that in that circuit the current?

In a capacitive circuit, you must first calculate the capacitive reactance (Xc) This is done by 2 x Pi x frequency x the value of capacitor. Then divide one by the answer. This will give you the capacitive reactance in ohms. You can then apply ohms law to find the current. So eg: A 10 ohm resistor is in series with a 150micro farad capacitor across a 230v 50Hz supply. find circuit current. So 2 x pi x 50 x 150E-6(means x10-6 on calc) 2 x 3.14159... x 50 150e-6 = 0.047123889(ans) Now 1/Ans = 21.22 ohms. So you can now add the 21.22 ohms and the 10 ohms together giving 31.22 ohms. This is the total circuit resistance. Now apply ohms law I = V/R So I = 230/31.22 = 10.83 Amps!


What is the power dissipated by a parallel resistor of 100 ohms with a 40v power source?

You may find it helpful to use Ohm's law and the definition of electrical power.


There are three sources of resistance in a parallel circuit Two of them are rated at 20 ohms the other at 10 ohms What is the circuit's total resistance?

-- If the 20 ohms and the nother 10 ohms are configured in series, then the totalnet effective resistance is 30 ohms.-- If they are configured in parallel, then the total effective resistance is 62/3 ohms.
