How is total resistance calculated in a series circuit?
If the circuit consists of resistors only, you simply add the values of all the resistors, in ohms.
What is the relationship between the voltage output at the interface and the voltage across the series and parallel circuit?
Ohm's law states that the current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the circuit resistance. There is a single path for current in a series circuit. The amount of current is determined by the total resistance of the circuit and the applied voltage.
What is the formula for total current in a series circuit?
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
As the resistance in a series circuit is decreased the amount of current in the circuit increases or decreases?
Increases the total resistance
Total amperage in a series circuit?
Voltage divided by total resistance will give the current. The resistance is simply the sum of all the individual resistances.

When you add resistors that are in a series to a ciruit?
You raise the total resistance by that amount if added in series to a circuit. If you add them in parallel to a circuit then that total resistance will be less than the total of the added circuit.
How do you calculate the joint resistance in a series circuit with three resistances?
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
How is total resistance in a series circuit determined?
Series circuit: The total voltage is the sum of the voltage on each component. The total resistance is equal to the sum of the resistance on each component. The total current is equal in every component.
What is the formula for total current in a series circuit?
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
As the resistance in a series circuit is decreased the amount of current in the circuit increases or decreases?
Increases the total resistance
What is the affect of a series circuit on current?
by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .
How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
If R1 equals 2 and R2 equals 4 in a 12 volt series circuit what is the total circuit resistance?
Series circuit? Add 'em!
Total amperage in a series circuit?
Voltage divided by total resistance will give the current. The resistance is simply the sum of all the individual resistances.
Is total resistance less than smallest resistor in a series parallel circuit?
no
