When you have watts in a series circuit do you add up the total or is it the reciprocal?
The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.
The total resistance of a series circuit containing three 10 ohm resistors is ohms.?
30 ohms
If 3 1.5 V cells were connected in series what would the total voltage of the circuit be What about in Parallel?
4.5 volts in series; 1.5 volts in parallel.
To find the current in a complex circuit it is necessary to know?
the source voltage and the total impedanceAnswerA 'complex circuit' describes a category of circuit that is neither series, parallel, nor series-parallel. A relatively-simple example of a complex circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge. You cannot analyse or resolve a complex circuit using the techniques used to analyse and resolve series, parallel, or series-parallel circuit. Instead you must use one or other of the various electrical theorems. For example, to determine the currents flowing in a Wheatstone Bridge circuit, you could use Kirchhoff's Laws or Thevenin's Theorem.
Is the power dissipated in a parallel circuit larger than the power dissipated in a serial circuit?
Consider t resistors with same Ohmic values. If they are in series total resistance Rt = R1 + R2. if they are in parallel then total resistance Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Series connection will have higher resistance.
How is the resistance of a resister calculated?
ohms law calculation for a series circuit - Total Resistance = Total Voltage divided by Total Current
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 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.
If R1 equals 2 and R2 equals 4 in a 12 volt series circuit what is the total circuit resistance?
Series circuit? Add 'em!
Do additional resistors affect current in a series circuit?
Yes, additional resistors affect current in a series circuit by increasing the total resistance, which decreases the total current.
How is total resistance calculated in a series circuit?
If the circuit consists of resistors only, you simply add the values of all the resistors, in ohms.
Can the total of the voltage drop across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?
no
What is the affect of a series circuit on current?
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 .
How do you calculate the joint resistance in a series circuit with three resistances?
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
What aspect of a series circuit is the same for each resistor as well as the total circuit?
Current is the same..... In a series circuit: V=V1+V2+...+Vn and R=R1+R2+...*Rn If voltage remains constant at the source (total circuit), and resistors differ in resistance (R1,R2,...,Rn), and V=I*R, then: I*R=I1*R1+I2*R2+...+In*Rn Seeing as I*R=const and voltage drop across every resistor is proportional to its resistance: I*R=I*(R1+R2+...+Rn) Therefore: I=I1=I2=...=In
