Resistors can be in a series configuration like the circuit below. Series resistors are connected daisy chain in a single line.

  • Series resistors have the same current running through each one of them on the same conductive wire.
  • Series resistors produce equivalent resistance that can be represented with a single resistor. RTOTAL or RT represents the equivalent or total resistance of all the resistors in a circuit. For resistors in series; RT = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 ….+ Rn The circuit above would have an equivalent resistance of; RT = 100Ω + 200Ω + 300Ω = 600Ω The equivalent circuit model is shown below. Now the circuit is easier to analyze to find current.
