The resisters is a book that grows directly out of the soil of our current political moment, and much of the book s unsettling pleasure lies in jens ingenious extrapolation or, in some cases, redescription of contemporary problems. Resistors are said to be in series whenever the current flows through the resistors sequentially. One reason for combining multiple resistors in seriesis to create a resistor value that you cannototherwise have available. In many electrical circuits resistors are connected in series or parallel. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. The only fact we used about resistors is that they have a particular linear voltagecurrent relationship v i r, which will not apply to other components. Most electrical engineers use the types found below. Since all the current flowing through the first resistor has no other way to go it must also pass through the second resistor and the third and so on. Kaiser cj publishing a good indepth reference resistor book. Again, at first glance this resistor ladder network may seem a complicated task, but as before it is just a combination of series and parallel resistors connected together.
Explain why total resistance of a parallel circuit is less than the smallest resistance of any of the resistors in that.
