Question

How will the current change in a series circuit if more resistors are added to it?

Answer 1

Your correct about series circuits only.

In a series circuit containing any number of initial resistors connected to a
voltage source ... if a resistor is added in series ... then the total current
decreases, and the voltage drop across each initial resistor decreases.

In a parallel circuit containing any number of initial resistors connected to a
voltage source ... if a resistor is added in parallel ... then the total current
increases. HOWEVER the voltage drop across ALL the resistors remains
unchanged at the supply voltage.

In a series circuit the same current flows through each resistor. As the
total resistance increases (Rtotal) then the current (i) decreases, since
i = (Vs) / (Rtotal) , and Vs is the source voltage. A lower current means
a decrease in the voltage drop across each resistor: Vresistor = i R

In a parallel circuit each resistor is connected across the source voltage of Vs,
so the voltages don't change. The current through each resistor also remains the
same since each R value remains the same. HOWEVER, the total current, which
is the sum of all the individual currents, increases, if more resistors are added,
since they are each drawing their own current.

Answer 2

umm so the answer is....?

Answer 3

you never posted the answers

Answer 4

Ask yourself what happens to the total resistance when you add a resistor in series?

Answer 5

A) current will increase B) current will decrease C) current will double D) Current isnt effected

Answer 6

@LilSouthFrM1X7
PLease do not post the direct answer
Ii is discourages by th ecode of conduct

Answer 7

lmao wow pathetic @MrNood

Answer 8

well i mean if she needs help thats what im hear for

Answer 9

Thank you!

Answer 10

Help is fine
But the answer does not help understanding
she will have nmore work to do loater in this subject, and will need to understand series and parallel resistor formule

Answer 11

the answer is A/C 1 of those i think im not sure

Answer 12

Im almsot done with all my physics. Im a freshman doing Physics and Chemistry so I can get High School early. I have 2 weeks do get it done and one answer wont kill me. @MrNood

Answer 13

Thank you! @LilSouthFrM1X7

Answer 14

welcum im a freshman to but im in Connexus acad..

Answer 15

So you think you can categorise all your subjects and never crossover?

So now he's not even sure - and he's wrong, and you learn nothing

Answer 16

I suggest you just leave me alone because I just go tthe answer right! @MrNood

Answer 17

@MrNood thats why i said i wasint sure DH

Answer 18

and its "too" not "to" in your posting above

Answer 19

quit being such a wingspan! god, if you knew the answer you'd say something instead of being so stuck up and immature! Have a nice day :) !@MrNood
