How does potential difference change across various resistors in a series circuit?

Short Answer

Solution

The total potential difference divides across the resistors. It changes across each resistor depending on its value. 

V = IR

The sum of these individual voltage drops equals the total voltage of the source.

Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3 + .....
