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!
In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?
Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.
What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
What is total voltage in a series circuits?
In a series circuit the total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops across all the component in series. When the voltage drops across each the individual components are added up, they will equal the supply (or applied) voltage.
What happen when ammeter connected in parallel?
an ideal ammeter has zero or negligible resistance when this is connected in series no effective resistance would be added in the circuit so that the value of curret that we get is exactly of the circuit only. but when the ammeter is connected in parllel as it has zero resistance , the resistor to which it is connected in parllel gets shorted and due to his the effective resistance of the circuit is changed and so the effective current ... due to this the w=value measured by the ammeter would be different (incresed due to dec. in effective resistance)
What would happen if another bulb was added to another series circuit?
In a series circuit, if another bulb is added, it is going to dim.
What would happen to the bulbs if three more were added to this series circuit?
Nothing would "happen" to them, but they would glow less brightly.
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 would happen if more capacitors were added to a series circuit already containing two capacitors?
A: For one thing the total capacitance will decrease . If the voltage rating are different then more problem will become evident. That is if they are added in series.
If a new bulb is added and the electrical circuit becomes dimmer is it a parallel circuit?
No it's series circuit.
How is resistance added in a series circuit?
Resistance in a series circuit is added by simply connecting resistors end-to-end. This results in the total resistance being the sum of the individual resistances. The current passing through each resistor in a series circuit remains the same.
When additional stops are added to a control circuit should they be connected in series or parallel?
series
If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?
In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.
What would be different about the circuit if a resistor were added in series with the light bulbs?
The total current in the circuit will decrease.
How are ammeters added to circuits?
Ammeters are added in series to the circuit to be monitored.
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 would happen to the voltage drop across each lamp if you kept adding lamps to a series circuit?
The voltage drop across each lamp would decrease as you add more lamps to a series circuit. This is because the total voltage in the circuit is divided evenly among the lamps, so each lamp receives less voltage as more are added.
