What is the effect on the total resistance if increase in resistors in series?

That depends ... in a very interesting way ... on whether they are connected
in series or in parallel.
-- If the resistors are in series, then the total resistance increases when you
add another resistor, and it's always greater than the biggest single one.
-- If the resistors are in parallel, then the total resistance decreases when you
add another resistor, and it's always less than the smallest single one.

∙ 14y agoTo find the resistance of two resistors in series you just add their resistances together.

∙ 14y agoThe answer depends on how the extra resistor is added. If it is added in series, the total increases. If added in parallel with one or more of the originals, the total decreases.

If you decrease the number of resistors in series, without changing the value of any of the resistors, then the total resistance will decrease.

total resistance of the circuit to increase.

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.
What is true about series connections of resistors?
The more resistance there is, the harder it is for current to flow. So the total resistance is the sum of all resistors in series.
What is a resistor bank?
In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.
Which has a highest resistance between shunt resistor and series resistor?
If you are placing more than one resistors in series, then its combined resistance is higher than when you place these resistors in shunt.
What is the resistance of two resistors in series?
Add the two together. For instance, two 100 ohm resistors in series have a total resistance of 200 ohms.
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 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 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.
What is true about series connections of resistors?
The more resistance there is, the harder it is for current to flow. So the total resistance is the sum of all resistors in series.
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 rule for finding the total resistance of a number of resistors connected in series?
If the resistors are in series, then the total resistance is simply the sum of the resistances of each resistor.
What is the relations for the equivalent resistance of a number of resistors connected in series?
Resistance in series is simply the sum of the resistors. RSERIES = SummationI=1,N(RI)
What is the total resistance in a circuit that contains three 60 resistors connected in series?
The total effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistances.Three 60-ohm resistors in series have a total effective resistance of (60 + 60 + 60) = 180 ohms.
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
What is a resistor bank?
In simple way resistor bank contains number of resistors in series or parallel combination. They are connected in parallel to decrease the resistance and increase current rating and power dissipation.And they are connected in series to increase resistance and power dissipation.
Advantage of using connecting resistors series in terms of current and voltage?
if resistors connected in series the resistance will increase.Then it limit the flow of current through it. voltage may be increased. A: by connecting any resistors in series it will limit the current flow it will effect the current but never the voltage applied
What is the equivalent resistance of a pair of 8 ohm resistors in series circuit?
Two eight-ohm resistors in series would have a total resistance of 16 ohms. Two eight-ohm resistors in parallel would have a total resistance of four ohms.
