Here we are given a series circuit and we know that it's series because there's no diverging paths.
00:06
There's only one path and you have to go all the way around this circuit and we have one battery and three resistors.
00:12
So based on this we are going to calculate the current.
00:18
So an important thing to note is that with a series circuit, which is what this is, right? there's no diverging paths.
00:26
In a series circuit the current is constant and current is represented with the capital letter i, just so we know when we move forward to the formulas, but the current is constant.
00:43
So if we used a current meter and we looked at here or here or here or here, all of them would read the exact same current.
00:53
Which means that our math is easier for a series circuit, which is always nice, right? so we're going to use the formula of voltage is equal to current times resistance and with a series circuit the way that we calculate resistance is simply going to be adding together all of the resistors, which is again one of the benefits of dealing with a series circuit.
01:23
It's very easy math.
01:24
So we have three resistors...
