Question

How do resistors in series affect the total resistance?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance in series is given by the sum of all the resistor in series

value of Total Resistance is given by

`R_(th)=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4+..............R_n`

Where
`R_(th)` is the total resistance

`R_1,R_2` are the resistance in series

Current in series remains same while potential drop is different for different resistor

The value of net resistor is always greater than the value of individual resistor.

If a there is a defect in a single resistor then it affects the whole circuit in series.
