Three resistors 1 Ohm , 2 Ohm and 3 Ohm are combined in series. What is the total resistance of the combination?

by EE-Expert in Current Electricity asked 2 months ago

Three resistors 1 Ohm , 2 Ohm and 3 Ohm are combined in series. What is the total resistance of the combination?

1 Answer

by EE-Expert answered 2 months ago

When resistors are combined in series, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.

The formula is:
R_total = R1 + R2 + R3

Given the values:
R1 = 1 Ω
R2 = 2 Ω
* R3 = 3 Ω

Calculation:
R_total = 1 Ω + 2 Ω + 3 Ω = 6 Ω

So, the total resistance of the combination is 6 Ohms.
