Resistors In Series Formula. Moreover over larger resistors with kilo ohm 1. Previous page next page.
This implies that the total or equivalent series resistance rs of three resistors is rs r1 r2 r3. 1 r 1 100 1 100 1 100 1 200 1 200 1 200 1 200 3 100 4 200. The equivalent resistance of a number of resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistance values.

If two resistors or impedances in series are unequal and of different values then the total or equivalent resistance rt is equal to the mathematical sum of the two resistances. 1 r 1 100 1 100 1 100 1 200 1 200 1 200 1 200 3 100 4 200. To simplify a sum or difference of fractions we can use a lowest common denominator lcd. This logic is valid in general for any number of resistors in series.
