Question

PLEASE HELP ME:

How does the equivalent resistance of a series circuit compare to the resistance values of the individual resistances in the circuit?

Answer 1

ANY ONE GOOD AT PHYSICS??? PLEASE I REALLY NEED THE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

equivalent resistance of series circuit is greater than individual resistances

Answer 3

Ok thank you so much!!

Answer 4

my pleasure!

Answer 5

please let me know if you have done week 1 homework question number 3 i am having difficulty in solving this one please kindly tell me the answers to that thx

Answer 6

Equivalent resistance equals the total of individual resistances in series.

Req = R1 + R2 + R3...
----------
If anyone is doing the same quiz I am and needs help for the second short answer question, this is the formula for finding the current:

I = V/Req

(Current = potential difference/equivalent resistance.)

If one resistor is replaced by a resistor with a lower resistance, the total equivalent resistance will decrease.

Since you find the current by dividing the potential difference by the equivalent resistance, and the equivalent resistance decreases, the current will increase.

(The lower the denominator, the bigger the quotient will be.)

Find a way to put that in your own words^
The answer to the first question is straight from the book.
