The series circuit of resistance is defined as
When the second terminal of first resistor is connected to
the first terminal of the second resistor and the second terminal of second
resistor is connected to the first terminal of the third resistor is said to be
the series circuit of the three resistors.
Explanation
Resisters are connected in series when they are connected to
each other like a chain. The series connections are made due to equal
amount of current to resistors. As the resistors are connected in series the
amount of current remains same in all resistors. The series circuit of
resistors is same as of series capacitor or other electrical and electronics devices.
It works same as it works on resistors.
The formulas remains same to every series circuit of electrical and electronics.
The formulas remains same to every series circuit of electrical and electronics.
Formulas
The formulas to find the value of current, voltage and resistance
are given below:
The value of total resistance and the equivalent resistance
is the sum of all the value of resistors in the circuit. The formula is as
given below:
Rt or R(eq)=R1+R2+R3 and so on.
The value of current which flows from the resistors which are connected inseries in the circuit remains the same and its formula is given below
It = I1= I2= I3
To find the value of the voltages across each resistor is as under
Vt + V1 + V2 + V3
Uses
This circuit is used to measure the values of resistances in
ohms, current in amperes and also the value of voltages across each component in
series circuit.
