Series circuit formula
Resistors in Series
Resistors are devices that obstruct the flow of electric current in the circuit. They provide the hindrance to the path of the current which flows in the circuit.
A resistor is a two-terminal electrical component that works by reducing the flow of charge and voltage levels in the circuit.
Most of the circuits have one or more resistors to oppose the flow of current and balance the circuit. Most commonly there are two combinations of resistors – Resistors in Series and Parallel.
Resistors in Series
Two or more resistors are in series if the same amount of current flows through all the resistors.
Voltage in a series circuitIn this circuit combination, the voltage across each resistor is different. In series, if any single resistance is damaged then the entire circuit will turn off. The construction process of the series resistor is simpler as compared to parallel.
For example, if we have 3 resistances in series such as R1, R2, R3 then the total equivalent resistance through the circuit is given by
Total Resistance= R1 + R2 + R3
