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 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.
Can the total of the voltage drop across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?
no
Why power does not remains same in series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current through each element is the same current. Because the total current must flow through every element. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each element is the same voltage. Because every element is connected individually across the power supply.
Why is the total power equals the sum of the individual values of power in a series circuit or a parallel circuit is used?
The total power equals the sum of the individual powers because power is the rate at which energy is supplied. Whether you have a series or parallel circuit, the total power comes from the power source.
When you have watts in a series circuit do you add up the total or is it the reciprocal?
The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.

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.
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.
Is the power dissipated in a parallel circuit larger than the power dissipated in a serial circuit?
Consider t resistors with same Ohmic values. If they are in series total resistance Rt = R1 + R2. if they are in parallel then total resistance Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Series connection will have higher resistance.
What happens to the total impedance of a series RC ciRCuit as the frequency is increased?
when the frequency is increased the total impedance of a series RC circuit is decrease.
If R1 equals 2 and R2 equals 4 in a 12 volt series circuit what is the total circuit resistance?
Series circuit? Add 'em!
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.
What aspect of a series circuit is the same for each resister as well the total circuit?
current

Formula for finding power in a DC circuit?
multiply the total voltage in the circuit by the total amperage
