Total Resist
A circuit contains four resistors in series: 2Ω, 8Ω, 10Ω, and 10Ω. Determine the total resistance in Ohms.
Expand Hint
For resistors connected in series, the current across each resistor is equivalent.
Hint 2
$$$R_{series}=R_1+R_2+...+R_n$$$
For resistors connected in series, the current across each resistor is equivalent. Therefore, the resistance of
$$n$$
resistors in series is:
$$$R_{series}=R_1+R_2+...+R_n$$$
Thus,
$$$R_{series}=2\Omega+8\Omega+10\Omega+10\Omega=30\:\Omega$$$
30 Ω
