Question

Is effective resistance and equivalent resistance are the same? Explain in simple words

Answer 1

$hi..$
Effective resistance is not as same Equivalent resistance .

Reasons :

1)Equivalent Resistance as per convention refers only to the pure static resistance property of a load across a potential difference.

2)Effective Resistance takes into consideration the capacitive and inductive components of a load too. So an electric motor working on alternating current draws electricity from a AC source of electricity. The electric motor is a load on the supply and can be represented by a equivalent resistance which has resistive as well as capacitive or inductive components. Also the values of the impedance it creates depends on the operational parameters of the electric motor.

Answer 2

Hi..
Effective resistance means the sum of all the resistances ..
If in series direct sum ...
In parallel..sum of reciprocal.....

Here is an example ..

Hope this helps u!!
