Resistors in Series
A series circuit provides only one path for current between two points so that
the current is the same through each series resistor.
In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the
same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage
drops across each component.
Properties of series circuit
At any point in circuit, the current in to that point must equal the current out of that
point.
IT = I1 = I2 = I3 = In
The sum of all the voltage drops a round a single closed path in a circuit is equal to
the total source voltage in that closed path.
𝑉𝑇 = 𝑉1 + 𝑉2 + 𝑉3 + 𝑉𝑛
For any number of individual resistors connected in series, the total resistance is
the sum of each of the individual values.
𝑅𝑇 = 𝑅1 + 𝑅2 + 𝑅3 + 𝑅𝑛
Example

drop at each resistor in the circuit of figure (1)
