ABSTRACT

Thus for a series circuit, the total resistance is obtained by adding together the values of the separate resistances.

Problem1. For the circuit shown in Figure 5.2, determine (a) the battery voltage V , (b) the total resistance of the circuit, and (c) the values of resistance of resistors R1, R2 and R3, given that the p.d.’s across R1, R2 and R3 are 5V, 2V and 6V respectively.
