How to Calculate Resistors in Series

Resistors in Series
When resistors are connected one after each other this is called connecting in
series. This is shown below.

To calculate the total overall resistance of a number of resistors connected in this


way you add up the individual resistances. This is done using the following
formula: Rtotal = R1 + R2 +R3 and so on. Example: To calculate the total
resistance for these three resistors in series.

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 = 100 + 82 + 1 Ohms = 183 Ohms

Calculate the total resistance of the following resistor in series.

Rtotal =

RTotal =

Rtotal =
