Resistors Connected
in Series
The equivalent resistance of any number of resistors connected
in series is the sum of the individual resistances.
Current remains same while voltage divides

Series Circuits
The current remains the
same.
The sum of the voltages is
same as the applied
voltage.
The total resistance is the
I I R1 I R2 I R3 sum of all the individual
resistance’s.

The sum of the currents is
equal to the total circuit
current.
The voltage across the
resistors is the same as the
applied voltage.
