Why do we connect a resistor to a battery source in a circuit? In simple to current limit, to decrease current, to regulate voltage. Resistors are not added to the…

Does a resistor increase the voltage in an electronic circuit? It could increase, decrease or do nothing with the voltage depending on the circuit and between which two points you…

Would using a resistor in a circuit make a battery last longer? Well, just adding resistance to part of a circuit does not guarantee that the current will drop. It…

Why do we have more than one resistor in a circuit? The circuit may require different levels of current or voltage at different points. Consider a circuit that causes a…

combine circuit breaker switch and fused together. As for why you might want to use both fuses and circuit breakers together. the fuse has a much higher capacity to solve…

Over current devices (breakers and fuses) can protect people and property, but that is just a side effect than intended. They are designed to prevent overheating of conductors that otherwise…
