Q: In a series circuit with two resistors, R1 and R2, what is the total resistance experienced by the source voltage?

R1 + R2 — Resistors in series simply add up to provide the total resistance.

Q: If a 12V source is connected to R1 (2 Ohms) and R2 (4 Ohms) in series, what is the total current flowing through the circuit?

2 A — Total resistance is 6 Ohms (2+4). Current = Voltage / Resistance = 12V / 6 Ohms = 2A.

Q: In the previous question, what is the voltage drop across (R1 + R2)?

12 V — Since R1 and R2 are in series, the total voltage drop across (R1+R2) equals the source voltage.

Q: What is the formula to calculate the voltage across a series combination of resistors?

V = I * (R1 + R2) — Ohm's Law (V = IR) is applied to the combined resistance (R1 + R2).

Q: If the current through R1 and R2 is 5A and R1 is 3 Ohms and R2 is 2 Ohms, what is the voltage across (R1+R2)?

25 V — Total Resistance = 5 Ohms. Voltage = 5A * 5 Ohms = 25V.

Q: When resistors are connected in series, the current:

Is the same through each resistor — In a series circuit, current has only one path to flow, and hence is the same.

Q: If R1 is 10 Ohms and R2 is 20 Ohms, and the current through the circuit is 1A, what is the voltage across R2?

20 V — Voltage across R2 = Current * R2 = 1A * 20 Ohms = 20V.

Q: In a series circuit, does the voltage across each resistor always sum up to the source voltage?

Yes — Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of voltages in a closed loop is zero.

Q: What happens to the total resistance if more resistors are added in series?

Increases — Adding resistors in series always increases the total resistance.

Q: What is the relationship between the voltage across each resistor and the total voltage in a series circuit?

The sum of individual voltages equals the total voltage. — Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) is the foundation of this relationship.
