Give the characters of connection is series.
Answers
Important characteristics of a series circuit are as follows:
- Current (amperage) will be constant throughout the circuit.
- Total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of each individual resistance.
- Total voltage of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component
Explanation:
Give the characters of connection is series.
The characteristics are:
★ Resistors are connected end to end.
★ Same current flows through each resistor.
★ Combined(equivalent) resistance
★ Applied voltage is equal to the algebraic sum of the potential differences across each resistor.
V=
★ If V is the applied voltage across the combination of n resistors, then:
= .V
When a number of resistors are connected in series then:
1. The sum of potential difference across all the resistors is equal to the applied voltage.
2. The same current flows through each resistor, which is equal to the current flowing in the whole circuit.
3. The equivalent resistance of the circuit will always be greater than the value of the largest resistor in the circuit.
