Asuem no current flowed in the series RC cirvuitbeacause of an open circuit.How could you quickly determine if the resistor or the capacitor were open?

I think it is a resistor, but might be a capacitor or something else. It is beige in color with no color bands on it, i know usually a resistor has color bands on it. Also the resistor ones on the circuit board has color bands, and is called with the letter R in front of it, the one that I need to replace has a C in front of the circuit number. Can anyone tell me how to determine what to get on this? Its not long and skinny like most resistors, with color bands, its about 3/16" long and almost egg shaped. There is a 1.5 amp fuse on the board that blew, i could only find a 5 amp to replace. I know that is why it probably burnt in two, do have the correct fuse now. Thanks
On the burnt one, the best i can tell with a magnifing glass is it has this on it.
RSC 104
Some of the other ones that look the same has this on them as well, though hard to tell even with a mag glass.

how capacitor work in DC & AC circuit?

i have been study in electronic circuit about capacitor, but i don’t understand it.. i only know capacitor is charge and discharge component.. also, what is the different about polarity and non polarity capacitor is it different function…? can someone help me..
can someone give me a detail answer…
if one electrolytic capacitor is connected parallel with DC voltage, parallel LED with serial resistor and connected to another DC circuit.. what will happen with capacitor..?

I am trying to install a additional parts to my car. when i remove the bare PCB with lcd from the head unit. i accidentally grounded the circuit board to the Metal plate, it create a little spark. now the LCD doesn’t work.

my question are
1. is the circuit board fried?
2. could it be just a blown fuse?
3. after ground the board, could it be just burn resistor?

Soldering a LED to a circuit board?

Im going to changing all the lights in my car to LEDs. I will be using 3mm and 5mm leds, and will have to add a 470ohm resistor to each led.

Now my question is when I solder the led, I solder the led on, then I solder the the resistor to the positive side of the led after the solder joint.

So pretty much is would be LED, Resistor, solder joint, circuit board.

Did that make any sense?

Thanks all.

Electronic Principles DC Circuit help!?

(P1) Use dc circuit theorems to solve one circuit problem using Thevenin’s theorem, one using Norton’s theorem and one using the Maximum Power Transfer theorem.

(a) In the following circuit use Thevenin’s theorem to determine the current in the 1.6 ohm resistor

1a picture

(b) Apply Norton’s theorem to the circuit below to find the current in the 20 ohm resistor

1b  picture

(c) Using the Maximum Power Transfer theorem determine the value of R in the circuit below in order that maximum power is transferred to it from the rest of the circuit

1c picture

if you can only answer one that is great any help is really appreciated.

LINKS ARE TO THE QUESTIONS PHOTO!

automobile from a blower resistor for a vent fan in a car?

What is power?…more in description?

Any simple/precise answer to these questions will be appreciated. Thanks!
1. What is the basic equation for power (in terms of amps + ohms)?
2. What is the purpose of a resistor?
3. Which is a more efficient electronic circuit: parallel or series?
4. Why do scientists refer to current (I) as if it flows from positive to negative when, in actuality, electrons flow from negative to positive?
5. How are static friction coefficients calculated?
6. What is diffraction?
7. How are electric fields/magnetic fields created?
8. Do each of these fields induce a corresponding force?
9. What is the Law of Induction?
10. How does one change the magnetic field?
11. What is magnetic flux?
12. What is electric flux (if that even exists)?
13. How does flux affect Induction?
14. Is there a way kinetic energy (like a treadmill or stationary bike) could power a light bulb with electromagnetic induction?

i was trying to circuit bend my omnichord, i touched the board in one place and lost the strumming sound and the chord sounds..the drums still work so i’m sure it’s just a cap or a resistor that’s fried…will a volt meter do me any good in finding the burnt component?

How to connect electronic components?

I have a simple serial circuit consisted of a battery, diode, resistor, led and ground (in this order). What is a ground? And what is the right way to connect the components? + to + + to -?
