Question

2 resistors are there connected in series.........so for finding the total current....in I=V/R....so r will be V/(r1+r2) or.....v/r1 + v/r2?......?

Answer 1

Answer:

I = V / ( R1 + R2 )

Explanation:

In the formula I = V / R,

R stands for total resistance.

Since in this case it is a series connection,

Total Resistance = R1 + R2

Hence,

R = R1 + R2

Thus,

I = V / R

I = V / ( R1 + R2 )
