Resistors are given as R1 = 10 ohm, R2 = 20 ohm, and R3 = 30 ohm. Calculate the effective resistance when they are connected in series. Also calculate the current flowing when the combination is connected to a 6 V battery.
Added by Mia M.
Step 1
In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. Total resistance (R_total) = R1 + R2 + R3 R_total = 10 ohm + 20 ohm + 30 ohm R_total = 60 ohm Show more…

Two resistors of resistances R1 =10 ohm and R2= 20 ohm are connected in parallel. A battery supplies 6 A of current to this resistance combination.calculate the current in each resistance.
Resistors of R1 = 10 ohms, R2 = 4 ohms, and R3 = 8 ohms are connected to two batteries (of negligible resistance) as shown. Find the current through each resistor.
