Question

Write the definition of Resistor in series and resistor in parallel and explain them with a neat and labeled diagram.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Resistors in Series

Resistors are said to be connected in “Series”, when they are daisy chained together in a single line. Since all the current flowing through the first resistor has no other way to go it must also pass through the second resistor and the third and so on. Then, resistors in series have a Common Current flowing through them as the current that flows through one resistor must also flow through the others as it can only take one path.

Then the amount of current that flows through a set of resistors in series will be the same at all points in a series resistor network. For example:

series resistor current

In the following example the resistors R1, R2 and R3 are all connected together in series between points A and B with a common current, I flowing through them.
