The resistance across the given each resistors.
Answer to Problem 5PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The potential applied,
The first resistor,
The second resistor,
The third resistor,
Formula used:
In series combination of resistors, the net resistance is,
Ohm’s law,
Where,V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.
Calculation:
Using above formula, the net resistance will be,
Then, the net current through the combination,
Same current flows in series combination, thus potential across first resistor is,
Similarly, the potential across second resistor is,
And, the potential across third resistor is,
It can be seen that,
Which is equal to the applied voltage.
Conclusion:
Hence, the voltage applied is equal to the sum of the voltage across each resistor.
