Resistors in series (3)

Storyboard

When several resistors are connected in series, the current is the same in all resistors due to the conservation of loads. Therefore, in each resistance a potential drop equal to the electrical resistance multiplied by the current is experienced and whose sum must be the total potential difference. Therefore, the total resistance of a series of resistors is equal to the sum of these.

Series resistance (3)

Equation

>Top, >Model


In the case of two resistors connected in series, the resistance in Series ($R_s$) is equal to the sum of the resistance 1 ($R_1$), the resistance 2 ($R_2$) and the resistance 3 ($R_3$). This relationship is expressed as:

Sum of potential difference (3)

Equation

>Top, >Model


By the principle of energy conservation, the potential difference ($\Delta\varphi$) is equal to the sum of the difference of potential 1 ($\Delta\varphi_1$), the difference of potential 2 ($\Delta\varphi_2$) and the difference of potential 3 ($\Delta\varphi_3$). This can be expressed through the following relationship:

$ \Delta\varphi = \Delta\varphi_1 + \Delta\varphi_2 + \Delta\varphi_3 $
