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.

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 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.
Is resistance in a series circuit equal to the largest resistor in the series?
No. The resistance in a series circuit is all the resistor values added together. eg. If two resistors were in a circuit, one was 10 ohms and the other was 30 ohms, the resistance in the circuit would be 30 ohms. Hope this helps!
What is the formula for calculating the equivalent resistance of a series circuit?
Equivalent resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the resistance of all appliances. The formula is R=R1+R2+... where R is equivalent resistance, R1, R2 and so on is the resistance of the individual appliances.
Does adding resistors in series increase or decrease the overall resistance of a circuit?
Resistance in series adds together. two 100 ohm resistors in series are equivalent to one 200 ohm resistor. to make an equation out of it ( even though it is simple) you can say: Rtotal=R1+R2+R3...+Rn
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
How to find Equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors?
To find equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors, start simple and expand... Find the smallest part of the circuit, such as a pair of resistors in series or a pair of resistors in parallel, and compute the equivalent single resistor value. Repeat that process, effectively covering more and more of the circuit, until you arrive at a single resistance that is equivalent to the circuit. For resistors in series: RTOTAL = R1 + R2 For resistors in parallel: RTOTAL = R1R2/(R1+R2)
If two resistors have same voltage drop in a series circuit it means?
It means the two resistors have same resistance
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.
What is a resistance network?
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.
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.
What is the equivalent resistance of a series circuit that has four 5oo ohm resistors?
2000 ohms
Does the current remains the same in a series circuit despite the different values if the resistors in the circuit?
current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa
