No, you would only be able to ignore the 10-ohm resistor if it were in parallel with the short circuit.the-alchemist said:
Voltage drop is the decrease in voltage that occurs when electricity flows through a circuit. It is caused by resistance in the circuit components.
Calculating voltage drop is important because it helps ensure the proper functioning of a circuit. Excessive voltage drop can cause equipment to malfunction or become damaged.
Voltage drop is calculated by multiplying the current in the circuit by the total resistance in the circuit. This can be represented by the formula V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
The factors that affect voltage drop include the length and diameter of the wire used in the circuit, the type and number of components in the circuit, and the current flowing through the circuit.
Voltage drop can be reduced by using larger diameter wires, reducing the length of the circuit, and minimizing the number of components in the circuit. Additionally, using materials with lower resistance can also help reduce voltage drop.
