A: If you know the total resistance and total voltage then you know total current flow for the circuit, this current will be same for every resistor in series however the voltage drop will change for each resistor . So measuring the voltage drop across the resistor in question and divide by the total current will give you the resistor value.
A: Since the current remains the same in a series circuit each resistor will have different IR drop if different in values. The value will be v/i=r
The Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a voltage source in series with a resistor.
-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
By Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the sum of the voltage drops around the series circuit will equal the voltage applied to the circuit.
It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.
The resistor with the most resistance.
fully charged.
A resistor does not only decrease current in a circuit it can also reduce tension(voltage) if connected in series.
* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.
The Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a voltage source in series with a resistor.
The applied voltage is 53+28 = 81V.
The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.
Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.
1. The sum of the component voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the voltage at the source.Vs=V1+V2+...+Vn (s=source, n=total number of voltage drops in the circuit)2. The greater the resistance imposed by a component, the greater the voltage drop across it.Larger resistor=larger voltage drops, Smaller resistor=smaller voltage drops3. In a series circuit, the percentage of resistance contributed by a component is equal to the percentage of voltage dropped by that component.
