The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
Ohm's law states that the current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the circuit resistance. There is a single path for current in a series circuit. The amount of current is determined by the total resistance of the circuit and the applied voltage.
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
If the circuit consists of resistors only, you simply add the values of all the resistors, in ohms.
Increases the total resistance

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.
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.

Increases the total resistance
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 .
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.
Series circuit? Add 'em!
no
Voltage divided by total resistance will give the current. The resistance is simply the sum of all the individual resistances.
