Series And Parallel Connection Of Resistance

Step 1: Determine the equivalent resistance of the series circuit.
When resistors are connected in series, their equivalent resistance ( ) is the sum of their individual resistances: Given , , and , Step 2: Apply Ohm's Law to find the current.
Ohm's Law states that the current ( ) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage ( ) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance ( ) of the conductor: In this circuit, the voltage across the equivalent resistance is the voltage of the battery, , and the equivalent resistance is . Step 3: Calculate the current . The current flowing in the circuit is .
