How Does Resistance Affect Voltage

A potential difference voltage across an electrical component is needed to make a current flow through it.

How does resistance affect voltage. Endgroup bido262 may 8 19 at 14 39. But can you explain further on how does the resistance affect the voltage drop. Resistance or impedance decreases electrical current per ohm s law. 1 begingroup bido262 there s nothing more to it.

You can calculate the resistance of the wire with the resistance equation. We will look at this question in more detail in the next section but for the moment we take a very simple view. Considering 100ma as fatal current and 400 ohms as body resistance the voltage may be calculated by this equation. Current is the rate of flow of electric charge.

Current voltage and resistance. Adjusting each parameter individually. 1 volt flowing through 1 ohm of resistance produces 1 ampere of current. Things that effect resistance and their effects on product versus waste heat and rate of production.

Below a certain threshold voltage no electrolysis will occur. Per unit of energy supplied in general a lower voltage produces more product and less waste heat from electrolysis. The fatal voltage for a human body is 40 volts and above. An electrical power supply such as a battery produces a voltage.

Resistance increases voltage. The voltage drop is equal to the current times the resistance. For this reason the quantities of voltage and resistance are often stated as being between or across two points in a circuit. Adding resistance will affect.

Begingroup thanks for the great explanation. Resistance is pure and is not affected by frequency with the ac impedance of a resistance being equal to its dc resistance and as a result can not be negative. You can calculate the resistance of the filament by rearranging the equation. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway s and that change will force a change in voltage current or both.

The amount of current in a circuit depends on the amount of voltage and the amount of resistance in the circuit to oppose current flow. Ohm s law gives current as a ratio of voltage to resistance. Why does the current flow. Non linear resistance does not obey ohm s law but has a voltage drop across it that is proportional to some power of the current.

Just like voltage resistance is a quantity relative between two points. 1 05 voltage and resistance. So the resistance is 120 ohms. If the body having higher resistance then the damage will be lower.

Let s say you have a 120 watt light bulb plugged into a wall socket. This may be attained by using rubber gloves rubber mats and like others.
