Resistors in Series

In a _________ circuit, the total resistance is greater than the largest resistance in the circuit.

• Series

• Parallel

• Either series or parallel

• Neither series nor parallel

What is its total resistance?

Refer to the circuit diagram shown. What is its total electric current?

In a series circuit, how does the total resistance compare to the individual resistances?

• The total resistance is less than the smallest resistance.

• The total resistance is equal to the sum of all resistances.

• The total resistance is equal to the largest resistance.

• The total resistance is the average of all resistances.
