Heating Effect of electric current

OpenStudy (factor):

pls help

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yes you want a explanation ?

OpenStudy (factor):

yup i want also explaination of series connection and parallel connection

OpenStudy (factor):

resistors in series connection and resistors in paralled connection

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

alright take a conductor , now when some electric current is passed through it then first it will try to resist the current flow ,ok?

OpenStudy (factor):

okay

OpenStudy (factor):

what do u mean by resist like loose or expend some energy in the form of heat

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yes absolutely to overcome this resistence some work must be done and this work done is converted into heat

OpenStudy (factor):

okay then

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

some very commom examples are---electric immersion water heater, electric iron box, etc

OpenStudy (factor):

okay then

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

now coming to the resistors

OpenStudy (factor):

ya

OpenStudy (factor):

what is it

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

resistors are generally some passive elements which just resists the current flow ok ? they can be combined by series or parallel connections

OpenStudy (factor):

ya can u ellaborate on series nad parallel and their formulaes

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

ok first for series connection -- |dw:1410961672509:dw|
