Connecting Resistors In Series. Combinations of series and parallel. A to find the equivalent resistance first find the equivalent resistance.
The following circuit shows three resistors connected in series. Of the parallel connection of and. This implies that the total or equivalent series resistance rs of three resistors is rs r1 r2 r3.
In other words the current is the same at all points in a series circuit.
Thus the total resistance rs of a series connection is. Combinations of series and parallel. When resistors are connected in. In order to reduce the complications of different combinations of resistors some rules are to be followed.
