Answer:

The total resistance of a circuit can be found by knowing the potential difference and current flowing through the circuit.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The connected wires, devices, connected resistors and also the internal resistance of the battery opposes the flow of current through the circuit.
  • These combinations gives the total resistance of the circuit.
  • In circuits, the total resistance in a circuit can be found from the total resistors connected across the circuit.
  • If the potential difference and the current flowing through the circuit is known, then the total resistance in the circuit can be calculated from the Ohms's law.

V = IR

R = V / I
