Do Resistors Short When They Burn Out at George Moss blog

Do Resistors Short When They Burn Out. Hopefully they do not damage the circuit. Each resistor has been designed for a certain amount of current to pass through it; Anytime there is a wire in parallel with a resistor (or series resistors) it's shorted. Yes, resistors become open circuit when they burn out. In your second example, there is a wire that goes between the same points as the 8k, 3k and 1k. When this amount is exceeded, the resistor becomes hotter and maybe untouchable, and marks. Resistors are a fundamental component in electronic circuits, and their failure can have devastating consequences. Generally speaking resistors fail short circuit, but a high value resistor, with a voltage across it exceeding its maximum. So what you are seeing is a. The resistor is getting hot and burning as a result of excessive current flow through it.

How do I read this damn resistors? They could go either direction, I
