Question
Three resistors of $5 \Omega, 3 \Omega$ and $7 \Omega$ are connected in series across a battery of potential difference $3 \mathrm{~V}$. Find the current flowing through $3 \Omega$ and $7 \Omega$ resistor.
Step 1
The total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of all individual resistances. Total resistance, $R_{\text{total}} = 5 \Omega + 3 \Omega + 7 \Omega = 15 \Omega$ Show more…

A circuit consists of a $12.0-\mathrm{V}$ battery connected to three resistors $(37 \Omega, 22 \Omega,$ and 141 $\mathrm{\Omega})$ in series. Find (a) the current that flows through the battery and (b) the potential difference across each resistor.
A circuit consists of a $12.0-\mathrm{V}$ battery connected to three resistors $(42 \Omega, 17 \Omega,$ and $110 \Omega)$ in series, Find $(a)$ the current that flows through the battery and (b) the potential difference across each resistor.
In Fig. 27-14, take $R_{1}=$ $12 \Omega, R_{2}=15 \Omega$, and $R_{3}=25 \Omega .$ If the potential difference across the ideal battery is $\Delta V_{\mathrm{B}}=15 \mathrm{~V}$, find the potential differences across each of the resistors
