Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is b for plato

B)it will increase the equivalent resistance which will decrease the total current

Step-by-step explanation:

Total resistance in series is given by:

R=R1+R2+R3

This is the equation for series circuit. The total resistance will add up.

Answer 2

Answer;

The current decreases.

Explanation;

• From the Ohm's law, current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference at constant temperature and pressure.
• Mathematically; I =V/R, where R is the resistance, I is the current and V is the voltage or the potential difference.
• Current is inversely proportional to the resistance, thus and increase in resistance decreases the amount of current in a circuit and vice versa.
• In a series circuit, as more and more resistors are added, the effective or equivalent resistance of the circuit increases and the total current of the circuit decreases.
