What else can I help you with?
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.
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 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.
What is the total voltage in a series circuit when multiple resistors are connected in series?
In a series circuit with multiple resistors connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltages across each resistor.
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
