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.
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.
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
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.
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
100.0 (apex)
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)
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.
The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
2000 ohms
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
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.
Two resistors in parallel are equivalent to a single component with a lower resistance than either of the pair. Two resistors in series are equivalent to a single component with a resistance equal to the sum of the pair, therefore a higher resistance. For a given potential difference, more current in total will flow through two resistors in parallel than through the same resistors in series.
If the circuit consists of resistors only, you simply add the values of all the resistors, in 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.
Yes, additional resistors affect current in a series circuit by increasing the total resistance, which decreases the total current.
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.
Three 8.0-W resistors are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent resistance?
