The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing)
the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
If the circuit consists of resistors only, you simply add the values of all the resistors, in ohms.
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.
Increases the total resistance
In a series circuit, total power is determined by the voltage across the entire circuit and the total current flowing through it. The total power (P) can be calculated using the formula P = V_total × I_total, where V_total is the sum of the voltages across all components and I_total is the same for each component in the series. Additionally, the total resistance (R_total) of the circuit affects the current, as it is given by Ohm’s Law (I = V/R). Thus, the interplay between voltage, current, and resistance dictates the total power consumed.

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.
Series circuit: The total voltage is the sum of the voltage on each component. The total resistance is equal to the sum of the resistance on each component. The total current is equal in every component.
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
In a series circuit, there is only one pathway for the movement of charges, through all the components connected in a single loop. This means that the current passing through each component is the same, as it is determined by the total voltage applied and the total resistance of the circuit.
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 .
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.
Series circuit? Add 'em!
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.
