Exam 5: Series Circuits

With no current through a resistor, there is a potential difference across the two ends of the resistor.

A common application of series circuits is to use a resistance to increase the voltage from the source V_T to a higher value.

The total power used in a series circuit is the

Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the sum of all resistor voltage drops in a series circuit equals the voltage drop of any one of the voltage drops.

Series components can be defined as those in the same current path.
