Announcements <strong>Electric</strong>al Resistance Magnetic Fields Final QuestionsSeries combinationThe current through each resistor is the same (I 1 = I 2 = I) (why?)The total voltage difference ∆V tot across resistors connected in series is the sum of the voltage differencesacross the individual resistors (∆V tot = ∆V 1 + ∆V 2 + ...)The equivalent resistance is the algebraic sum of the individual resistancesR eq = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 + ...Therefore, the equivalent resistance of a series combination of resistors is always greater than anyindividual resistance<strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Circuits</strong>
