Derive expression for resistance in series and parallel
Answers
Answer:
According to Ohm's law, the voltage drop, V, across a resistor when a current flows through it is calculated by using the equation V=IR, where I is current in amps (A) and R is the resistance in ohms (Ω). This implies that the total resistance in a series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
Explanation:
let R1,R2,R3 be three resistors combined in series with a p.d( V )and current passing through it be(1)
V1=I*R1
V2=I*R2
V3=1*R3
(V1+V2+V3)=l(R1+R2+R3) replacing V1,V2,V3 by (V)
V/I=R1+R2+R3
Req=R1+R2+R3

derivation of parallel resistance
let R1,R2,R3 be three resistances connected in parallel with a p.d(V)
1=V/R1
12=V/R2
13=V/R3
11+12+13=V/R1+V/R2+V/R3
replacing 1+12+13 by I
l=V(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)
I/V= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3
1/V/=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3
1/Req=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3
