In series combination, Current(I) remains same among all the resistors, but voltage(V) changes. So:
V(Equivalent) = I(Equivalent) * R(Equivalent)
R(Equivalent) = V(Equivalent)/ I(Equivalent)
R(Equivalent) = IR1+ IR2+...+IRn / I
R(Equivalent) = I(R1+R2+...+Rn)/ I
R(Equivalent) = R1+R2+...+Rn

What is the relationship of voltage to the resistance in a series circuit?
ohms law use kirchoff's voltage law around the loop
Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
How is the resistance of a resister calculated?
ohms law calculation for a series circuit - Total Resistance = Total Voltage divided by Total Current
Does current effect the resistance in an electric series circuit?
The resistance remains constant. The voltage would change, in accordance with Ohms' law, with a change in current.
How do you measur ampere?
You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!
What is the name of a law of resistance?
The name given to the law of resistance is Ohm's Law.
In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the?
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.

What is the total voltage drop across a set of resistors in series?
Simply add all of the component's resistances together and that will give you circuits total resistance. If you're dealing with a 'series-parallel', or 'parallel' circuit, the equations will change, but in a simple series circuit, the total resistance is just the total of all the component's resistance.
In series circuit each device that's added to the circuit decreases the?
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.
What is the resistance of each load in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances of each load. This means that if you have multiple resistors (or loads) connected in series, you can calculate the total resistance by simply adding their resistances together: ( R_{total} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + \ldots ). Each load's resistance contributes to the overall resistance, affecting the current flow through the circuit. The voltage across each load can vary depending on its resistance, following Ohm's Law.
What are the limitations of ohms law?
It requires the ability to multiply and divide. It requires the ability to mentally separate voltage from current and to understand resistance and when to add resistance for series circuits and worse identify and calculate parallel loads.
