Voltage divided by total resistance will give the current. The resistance is simply the sum of all the individual resistances.

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.


What happens if you add more loads to a series?

When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage 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.


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 happens to the total impedance of a series RC ciRCuit as the frequency is increased?

when the frequency is increased the total impedance of a series RC circuit is decrease.


Why does a series resonant circuit cannot be tank circuit?

A series resonant circuit has it's reactive components connected in series with each other; while the reactive components, as in a "tank" circuit, are connected in parallel with each other. The resonant series circuit has the capability of producing usable increased voltage levels across each component at resonance, while the resonant tank circuit does not. The resonant parallel, or "tank" circuit; has the dual capability of creating a situation whereby the input amperage level is reduced to minimum while, at the same time, a maximum amount of circulating amperage is created between the two reactive tank components at resonance.


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.


What is a amperage relay?

An amperage relay is an electrical device used to activate or deactivate a circuit based on the current flowing through it. It is designed to protect the circuit from overload or short-circuit conditions by opening or closing the circuit when the preset amperage level is exceeded.


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.
