3 Series Circuits Main Ideas Current Voltage Total Resistance Adding a bulb Draw three 10 Ω resistors connected in series to a 6 volt battery: To determine the total resistance in a series circuit you add: R total = R 1 + R 2 + R Thus the total resistance of a circuit that has a 2 Ω, 4 Ω and 10 Ω resistor is: R total = R total = 16 Ω Class Work Page 3

8 The Tollway Analogy The flow of charge through the wires of a circuit can be compared to the flow of cars along a toll way system in a very crowded metropolitan area. The main source of resistance on a toll way system are the tollbooths. Stopping cars and forcing them to pay a toll at a tollbooth not only slows the cars down, but in a highly trafficked area, will also cause a bottleneck with a backup for miles. The rate at which cars flow past a point on that toll way system is reduced significantly by the presence of a tollbooth. Clearly, tollbooths are the main resistor to car flow. Page 8

18-3 Circuit Analogies, and Kirchoff s Rules Analogies can help us to understand circuits, because an analogous system helps us build a model of the system we are interested in. For instance, there are
The answer is R= 471 ohms. So we can use a 470 ohm or the next higher one, a 560 ohm.
Introducing Resistors & LED s P a g e 1 Resistors are used to adjust the voltage and current in a circuit. The higher the resistance value, the more electrons it blocks. Thus, higher resistance will lower
