I think this means "is the voltage applied to a set of impedances (resistors, inductances, capacitors, or individual networks of these) all connected in series, divided up between them?". A series circuit is a set of impedances connected so that the same current flows through each component in turn. The voltage across each component is the impedance of that component multiplied by that same current, and the total of these voltages adds up to the applied voltage. So the answer is "yes". Notice that the individual items of the series, could be more complicated than a simple resistor, etc. but could be a local parallel unit of, say, a parallel combination of a resistor and a capacitor, and in that case it is the impedance of that local item which applies.
What else can I help you with?
How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?
The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.
If a series circuit has a 12 v battery what is the current flow?
You'd need to know either the resistance or the wattage of the circuit. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance or Current = Power divided by Voltage
When the voltage in a series circuit is doubled while the resistance remains the same the power increases by?
If the voltage doubles while the resistance remains the same, the power increases by a factor of four.Power = voltage times currentCurrent = voltage divided by resistanceSo, power = voltage squared divided by resistanceThis has nothing to do with being in a series circuit. It is simply Ohm's Law and Joule's Laws.
The applied voltage in a circuit equals the sum of the circuits individual what?
For a series circuit, the applied voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops
State two rules for the voltage and current in a series circuit?
Kirchoff's voltage law and Kirchoff's current law
Which circuit would have the highest voltage series or parellel?
In a series circuit, the voltage is divided among the components, so the highest voltage is at the beginning of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, each component receives the full voltage of the source, so the voltage is the same across all components. Therefore, the circuit with the highest voltage would be in a series 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.
What is the voltage in a series circuit where multiple components are connected in a series, known as series circuit voltage?
In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all components connected in a series. This is known as the series circuit voltage.
Is the voltage the same throughout all points in a series circuit?
Yes, in a series circuit, the voltage is the same at all points because there is only one path for the current to flow, so the total voltage is divided across all components in the circuit.
What happens to voltage in a series circuit?
Total voltage = the source. The voltage around the circuit is divided proportionally by each of the resistances in line. The current is = the source voltage divided by the sum of all the resistance.
How is voltage spread out in series circuit?
By Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the sum of the voltage drops around the series circuit will equal the voltage applied to the circuit.
How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?
The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.
Why is voltage split over a series circuit?
Voltage drop due to the resistance present in the series circuit causes voltage split over a series circuit.
What is the potential voltage across the circuit components in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the potential voltage across the circuit components adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.
How is the resistance of a resister calculated?
ohms law calculation for a series circuit - Total Resistance = Total Voltage divided by Total Current
If a series circuit has a 12 v battery what is the current flow?
You'd need to know either the resistance or the wattage of the circuit. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance or Current = Power divided by Voltage
What are the 2 rules for the voltage and current in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit. The voltage across each component in a series circuit adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.
