In a series circuit, what is the applied voltage (or sum of the applied voltages) equal to?
• Ohm’s Law and how voltage, current, and resistance relate • Behavior of current and voltage in a series circuit • How voltage drops across each resistor add up in a series circuit
• Think about what happens to the voltage at each resistor when current flows through a series circuit. • Compare how current behaves in a series circuit versus how voltage behaves. • Ask yourself: if you measured voltage across each resistor and then across the whole circuit, how would those readings relate?
• Confirm that in a series circuit, current is the same through every component. • Recall that total resistance in series is the sum of the individual resistances, not currents. • Verify which option describes a relationship involving the sum of voltages across each resistor in the circuit.
