2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the total resistance of two resistors of 3Ω and 5Ω connected in series?
Add the resistances together.
If the current through a series circuit is 2A, what is the same current through each resistor?
Remember, the current is constant in a series circuit.
What happens to the current in a series circuit?
Think about the path of current flow.
The total resistance in a series circuit is given by which formula?
What do you get if you keep adding resistors?
Design a series circuit using three resistors of your choice totaling a resistance of 30Ω. Calculate the current that will flow if a 90V battery is connected.
Make sure the total resistance adds up to 30Ω!
In a series circuit with two 12V batteries and three resistors of 4Ω, 6Ω, and 10Ω in series, calculate the current flowing through the circuit.
Start by calculating total resistance before finding the current.
