Question

Consider that you have a series circuit containing a 12-volt battery and 50 ohm, 80 ohm, and 100 ohm resistors. What is the total amount of resistance in the circuit?

Answer 1

230 ohm

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 12 V

R1 = 50 ohm

R2 = 80 ohm

R3 = 100 ohm

This is the circuit containing three resistors which are connected in series and a battery is also connected in the circuit.

The formula for the equivalent resistance when the resistances are connected in series is given by

`R{s}= R_(1)+R_(2)+R_(3)`

Where, Rs be the equivalent resistance of the three resistances which are connected in series.

Rs = 50 + 80 + 100

Rs = 230 ohm

Thus, the total amount of the resistance in the circuit is the equivalent resistance which is equal to 230 ohm.
