Derive an equation for equivalent of resiatance when two resistance connected in a series
Answers
Answer:
Derive an expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistances connected in series. Series combination: If a number of resistors are joined together so that the current flowing across each resistor is the same, then the resistances are said to be connected in series.
1). Series combination ➜
→ When two or more resistances are connected in such a way that same current passes through each resistor then combination is called series combination
2). Parallel combination ➜
→ two or more resistances are called in parallel if same potential act across each resistance.

ᴥ︎︎︎ derivation of equivalent or effective resistance in series combination :-
➪ Let two resistances R1 and R2 are connected in series with a source of 'V' volt and 'I' is the current flowing in the resistance then,
(we know that , by ohm's law V = IR )
V1 = IR1
V2 = IR2
the total potential
→ V = V1 + V2
or V = IR1 + IR2
if the effective or equivalent resistance of the combination is Rs then,

✈︎ hence, in series combination the effective resistance is equal to the sum of individual resistances.
✈︎ The effective resistance is more than the individual resistance.
