What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?
-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
What is the total resistance if they have equal resistances in series in each of rows in parallel?
If the overall load consists of:'R' = resistance of each individual resistor'S' = number of resistors in each series row'P' = number of series rows connected in parallel,then the effective overall DC resistance of the entire network is[ R S / P ]
When three resistors are connected in series the amount of voltage that is measured across each one is determine by what?
The voltage drop across each resistor is determined by the amounts of resistance in the 3 resistors and all the rest of the resistances in the electrical circuit.
Will the voltage dropped across each resistor be same if two unequal resistors are connected in parallel?
yes ,they can be connected ,then they both will drive the current through that resistance ,the current through that resistance will be the sum of currents due to each individual source taking only one at a time (use superpositon theorem)
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit. what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and the currents through the resistors?
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
How does the effective resistance of four resistors in parallel compared to the individual resistance?
It depends on the values of the individual resistors. But if each resistor is identical, then the total resistance will be one-quarter that of an individual resistor.

Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it. The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor. As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.
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 three resistors are connected in series the amount of voltage that is measured across each one is determine by what?
The voltage drop across each resistor is determined by the amounts of resistance in the 3 resistors and all the rest of the resistances in the electrical circuit.
How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?
If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).
What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?
The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.
Why does resistance increase in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the total resistance increases because the individual resistances add up. As the current flows through each component in succession, the resistance offered by each component adds to the total resistance. This leads to an overall increase in resistance in a series circuit.
How does the area of series resistors affect the overall resistance in a circuit?
The total resistance in a circuit with series resistors is the sum of the individual resistances. When more resistors are added in series, the total resistance increases because the current has to pass through each resistor, making it harder for the current to flow.
What do the different colours on a resistor mean?
The color bands on a resistor indicate its resistance value. Each color corresponds to a digit, which is used to calculate the resistance value based on a specific color code chart. The tolerance of the resistor is also indicated by a separate color band.
Will the voltage dropped across each resistor be same if two unequal resistors are connected in parallel?
yes ,they can be connected ,then they both will drive the current through that resistance ,the current through that resistance will be the sum of currents due to each individual source taking only one at a time (use superpositon theorem)
