Explanation:

In

R1, R2 and R3 are the three resistors connected in series between points C and D as shown. I is the current and V is the PD across points C and D.

Then Rs is the effective resistance in a circuit and V1, V2 and V3 are the potentials across the three resistors such that

V = V1 + V2 + V3 ---- (1)

Using Ohm's law, the total potential difference

V = I Rs

and V1 = IR1, V2 = IR2 and V3 = IR3

Substituting these values in equation 1, we get

IRS = IR1 + IR2 + IR3

∴ RS = R1 + R2 + R3

For n number of resistors connected in series,

RS = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + ----- + Rn

2. Expression for the resistors in parallel:

R1, R2 and R3 are the three resistors connected in parallel between points C and D as shown in the figure.

Let I1, I2 and I3 be the currents passing through R1, R2 and R3, respectively.

Let V be the potential difference between points C and D. The current I will be given by

I = I1 + I2 + I3 ----- (1)

Let RP be the effective resistance in the circuit.

Using Ohm's law, we get

begin mathsize 12px style straight I subscript 1 equals straight V over straight R subscript 1 comma space straight I subscript 2 equals straight V over straight R subscript 2 comma space space straight I subscript 3 equals straight V over straight R subscript 3 space and space space straight I equals straight V over straight R subscript straight P end style

Putting these values in equation 1, we get

begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator straight V space over denominator straight R subscript straight P end fraction equals fraction numerator straight V space over denominator straight R subscript 1 end fraction plus fraction numerator straight V space over denominator straight R subscript 2 end fraction plus fraction numerator straight V space over denominator straight R subscript 3 end fraction

therefore fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript straight P end fraction equals fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript 1 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript 2 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript 3 end fraction end style

For n number of resistors connected in parallel, we get begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript straight P end fraction equals fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript 1 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript 2 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript 3 end fraction..... plus fraction numerator 1 space over denominator straight R subscript straight n end fraction end style

Two lamps, one rated 100 W at 220 V and the other 200W at 220 V are connected (i) in series and (ii) in parallel ot electric main supply of 220V. Find the current drawn in each case. In this question I'm able to find the answer for parallel connection in another way but able to do so for series if I follow the same methodology We know, the potential difference across each of the lamps is same so, 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/Rp Multiplying V^2 on both sides of the equation, I get V^2/R1 + V^2/R2 = V^2/Rp Which is technically saying, P1 + P2 = Pp Doing so, I get Pp = 300W and current drawn by the lamps is Pp = VI 300 = 220*I I = 15/11 = 1.36 A im not able to find an analogy like this for series pls help
