What is the equivalent resistance if six 18 kOhm resistors are connected in 1. series 2. parallel as was asked by Mackey90 on 8 December 2008?
6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in series make a total resistance of:18k+18k+18k+18k+18k+18k which is 108 kOhm.6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in parallel make a total resistance of:1/[(1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k)] which is 3 kOhm.
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.
What is the current in a circuit with 9 volts 3 ohms 2 ohms and 4 ohms?
The current in the circuit will depend on how the three resistors are wired. Series? Parallel? Series parallel? With the resistors in series, 3, 2 and 4 ohms will add to 9 ohms. As I = E/R, I = 9 V / 9 ohms = 1 A. With the resistors in parallel, the 3, 2 and 4 ohm resistors will draw 3 A, 4.5 A and 2.25 A respectively, and the total current will be the sum of the branch currents, or 3 A + 4.5 A + 2.25 A = 9.75 A. There are 3 different series parallel circuits possible, and more investigation will be necessary to solve for them.
A 24 volt battery supplies three devices wired in parallel that each have a resistance of 9 ohms. What is the voltage drop across each device?
A simple circuit has three resistors connected in series. The resistors are 14 ohms 12 ohms and 9 ohms. What is the total resistance of the circuit?
What are advantages of a series combination of resistors?
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
Does you add the shorted resistors in finding the total resistance?
When resistors are wired in series, their resistances are added to find the total resistance. If they are run in parallel, or series-parallel, the formula is different
What happends to resistance when resistors are wired in series?
The resistance of two or more resistors connected in series is the sum of the individual resistances. (If any of the connections between them is sloppy and involves some resistance at the connection, then that also has to be added in.)
Four resistors having a value of 100 ohms are connected in parallel what is the total resistance of the circuit?
What would the measured ohms be for two 100 ohm resistors wired in series? Two 100 ohm resistors wired in series measure 200 ohms.
What picture represents two resistors wired in parallel?
It represents that two resistors are connected in parallel.
Two identical resistors are connected in parallel and then wired in series to a 40-ohm's resistor If the total equivalent resistance is 55-ohm's. What is the value of R?
30 ohms.
What is your observation of resistors in series?
I observe that the total effective resistance of several resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistance values of the individual resistors.

When three resistances are wired in series operating on 15v each resistance receives what volts?
It depends on the value of the three resistors. If they are equal, then each resistor has 5 volts across it.

Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?
Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.
When resistors are put in a series with each other the overall resistance is?
The effective resistance of several resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistances.
