What is the effect of the total resistance of the following:?

Question

1. What is the effect of the total resistance of the following:

a. Increasing the number of resistors in series.

b. Decreasing the number of resistors in series.

c. Increasing the number of resistors in parallel.

d. Decreasing the number of resistors in parallel.

Answer 1

a. higher

b. lower

c. lower

d. higher

Hope you're pretty 'cause this is basic.

Answer 2

a: total increases

b; total decreases

c; total decreases

d; total increases

the total resistance for resistors in series = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn

the total for resistors in parallel = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + .... + 1/Rn)

Answer 3

a) resistance goes up

b) resistance goes down

c) resistance goes down

d) resistance goes up

.

Answer 4

a.Increasing the number of resistors in series will result in increase in total resistance.

b.Decreasing the number of resistors in series will result in decrease in total resistance.

c.Increasing the number of resistors in parallel will result in decrease in total resistance.

d.Decreasing the number of resistors in parallel will result in increase in total resistance.

*Try to know the basics of series and parallel circuit.

1.Series circuit:

The total resistance[R0] is equal to the sum of the resistance on each component.

R0 = R1 + R2 + R3 +...+ Rn

n=1,2,3,4,........,n

2.Parallel circuit:

The total resistance is equal to the sum of resistance on each component divided by the product of resistance of each component.

1/R0 = 1/R1 + 1/R2 +...+ 1/Rn

n=1,2,3,4,........,n
