How do you know if a circuit has a series resistor?
Can a resistor be connected together in a series connection?
Resistors in Series. Resistors are said to be connected in series when they are daisy chained together in a single line resulting in a common current flowing through them. Individual resistors can be connected together in either a series connection, a parallel connection or combinations of both series and parallel, to produce more complex ...
Sep 12, 2022 · Two resistors connected in series (R1, R2) are connected to two resistors that are connected in parallel (R3, R4). The series-parallel combination is connected to a battery. Each resistor has a resistance of 10.00 Ohms. The wires connecting the resistors and battery have negligible resistance.
Resistors are in series when they are connected head-to-tail and there are no other wires branching off from the nodes between components. In the following image, R1 , R2 , and R3 are in series: Resistors in series share the same current. The resistors in the following image are not in series.

- Thanks for catching this typo. It has been fixed.
- the current is always the same in series no matter what
- That depends on the voltage that you want to be dropped across the load when the current is 40mA and how the current through the load varies with a...

- The metal conductor does not get deprived of its electron, the electrons are passed from atom to atoms.
- Yeah that it is quite confusing, the way to think about voltage in a circuit is "work being done on charge". In circuits we are assuming that the w...
- The electrons flow through the resistor without any of them actually stopping, but since work is done some of their energy is imparted as heat.
- Basically it comes from conservation of charge. If there were portions of the circuit where more current was going in than going out, that would im...
- That would probably be because electrons are everywhere in the circuit. When the switch is pressed the electrons closest to the bulb begin to move...
- yes you are right there are two ways to think about current (sorry to say) The elctrons move, as you say, from negative to positive. Makes sense to...
- Current is a measure of the number of charges flowing per unit time. So if you slow down the motion of the charges, you will reduce the current. Th...
Calculate total resistance of a circuit that contains a mixture of resistors connected in series and in parallel. Most circuits have more than one component, called a resistor that limits the flow of charge in the circuit. A measure of this limit on charge flow is called resistance.
In this introduction to series resistance circuits, we will explain these three key principles you should understand: Current: The current is the same through each component in a series circuit; Resistance: The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
Determine whether resistors are in series, parallel, or a combination of both series and parallel. Examine the circuit diagram to make this assessment. Resistors are in series if the same current must pass sequentially through them. Use the appropriate list of major features for series or parallel connections to solve for the unknowns.
