Order the steps for resistors in series

Exercise and reference answers

Steps

1. List all the resistor values in the series chain
2. Add them: R_eq = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + …
3. Note that current is the same through each resistor
4. Use V = IR_eq for total voltage across the chain

Instructions

Tap the steps in order to find the total resistance of a series chain.
