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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
