We are looking for expression for the total resistance any series circuit
and, substitute equations (5.
We can summarize these statements follows. Therefore, say
that series circuit the current common throughout that circuit. Conduit, trunking, tray, SWA, outside lumi-

When the current flows through each resistor the circuit, R1, and R3
for example Fig. 5.1, will equal the total voltage VT.

Resistors series and parallel
In electrical circuit resistors may connected series, parallel, or
in various combinations series and parallel connections
