When one resistor in a series is shorted, explain what would happen to the circuit's current, resistance, the voltage across the shorted component, and voltage across the other components

A. The circuit's current drops. b. The circuit's resistance drops c. The voltage across it is zero d. The voltage remains the same.

Explanation:

a. What would happen to the circuit's current

Since the circuit is in series and one resistor is shorted, the current in the circuit would drop since it is a series circuit and one resistor has been shorted.

b. What would happen to the circuit's resistance

The resistance of the circuit drops by the value of the resistance shorted since it is a series circuit and the shorting cuts off this resistor from the circuit.

c. What would happen to the voltage across the shorted component

The voltage across the shorted component is zero because, since no current flows through it and we know that voltage V = IR and if I = 0, V = 0 × R = 0 V. So, the voltage across it is zero.

d. What would happen to the voltage across the other components

The voltage across the other components remains the same as the initial voltage because, the short transfers the current across the shorted component and makes the shorted component disappear from the circuit. The short thus makes it seem like the source voltage is directly connected to the other components across the shorted resistor. So, the new voltage across the other components is the initial voltage in the circuit before the short.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
