What Happens If A Resistance Goes To Infinity

What Happens If A Resistance Goes To Infinity. When the resistance is infinite, the current is zero for any finite voltage because dividing a finite. What we want to do is calculate the effective resistance, just like we did for the two resistors, of an infinitely long chain of resistors.

Infinite resistance is open circuit (burnt resistor in real life) no current will flow, zero ohms is short circuit. You can see that the impedance of the new circuit won't go to zero or infinity but will go to a very low value or to a very high value for that. As the resistance approaches infinity, we have what is known as an open circuit:

What we want to do is calculate the effective resistance, just like we did for the two resistors, of an infinitely long chain of resistors. In practise, the voltage source won't be able to support more than. What happens if a resistor has infinite resistance? Infinite resistance is open circuit (burnt resistor in real life) no current will flow, zero ohms is short circuit.
