Question
Write any two characteristics of a series combination of resistors.
Advertisements
Solution
Characteristics of series combination of resistors:-
- The same current flows through each resistor.
- The voltage (potential difference) across the combination is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across the individual resistors.
- The effective resistance of the combination is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
- The effective resistance of the combination is greater than any of the individual resistances.
- The voltage across each resistor is directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
- The series combination can be used to increase the resistance in a circuit.
