Add all the individual resistance values.
The ratio of the equivalent resistance of series combination to the parallel combination of n equal resistors is (n^2 - 1)/n.
The voltage across each series component is proportional to its resistance, and their sum is equal to the voltage between the ends of the complete series string.
A: They are applied both and combination of both
You can achieve an effective resistance of 3 ohms by connecting the resistors in series. Connect two resistors in series to get a combination of 4 ohms. Then, connect this combination in parallel with the third resistor to achieve an overall resistance of 3 ohms.
Equation for Equivalent Resistance in Series isReq= R1+R2+R3+...........If each resistor is equal to 3OhmsthenReq= R1+R2+R3Req=3+3+3Req=9 OhmsThe Equivalent resistance is 9 Ohms.
In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. So, the total resistance of the 3.0 lamp and 6.0 lamp connected in series would be 3.0 + 6.0 = 9.0 ohms.
That's like having a series combination of 4 + 4 ohms, in parallel with another resistance of 4 ohms. Calculate the series resistance, then use the parallel formula to combine it with the third resistance.
The voltage across the ends of the series combination is 75,000 times the current through it.
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.
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
Answer: The equivalent resistance of a series of resistors is as follows:Suppose you have three 120 Ohm resistors:A---/\/R1\/\------/\/R2\/\------/\/R3\/\---BThe equivalent resistance of point A to point B is the resistance of R1, R2 and R3 in series.Suppose we would want to replace R1, R2 and R3 with a single resistor, R4:A---/\/R4\/\---BThe resistance of R4 would be 360 Ohms, since equivalent resistance of a series combination is:Req = R1 + R2 + R3Answer: What is meant by equivalent resistance is that if you replace (for example) two or three circuits with whatever you calculate (see the other reply, above) as the "equivalent resistance", the effect on the circuit in general will be the same. For example, the same amount of current will flow.
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
