How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?
The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
What is the total resistance in the series circuit where E equals 240 R1 equals 100 R2 equals 500 R3 equals 600?
1). You don't need the voltage 'E' in order to calculate the total resistance. The totalresistance is the same whether the circuit is connected to a big battery, to a smallbattery, to a bicycle pump, or lying in the back of the desk drawer.2). In a series circuit, the total resistance is just the sum of the individual resistances.In this example, the total resistance isR1 + R2 + R3 = 100 + 500 + 600 = 1,200 ohms .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Do additional resistors affect current in a series circuit?
Yes, additional resistors affect current in a series circuit by increasing the total resistance, which decreases the total current.
