What's the purpose of the regulated helium source going into the solvent reservoirs in HPLC? Is it just to degas the solvents? Does it have any other use?

so how exactly does a resistor decrease current and convert energy to heat energy? what is happening on a molecular level?

Homework Statement The problem is that I cannot figure out why a filament will burn out in a particular spot. Higher resistance = lower current why does the filament heat up more? Homework Equations R2= R1[1+a(T2-T1)] Resistance = (resistivity * L)/ A R= V/I The Attempt at a...
