DC Series 2V

What is a DC series circuit?

Then to summerise. We have seen here that a DC Series Circuit, or series connected circuit is created by combining two or more circuit elements together in series to form a closed loop with a combination of series elements together called a string.

Do all parts of a DC series circuit have the same current?

That is, all parts of a DC series circuit have an identical current value. Electrical circuits consist of many different types of components and devices and the same is also true for series circuits. They are not only limited to just resistors, (R) but any other electronic component that can be connected together in series.

How many ohmic resistors are connected in a DC battery?

Five resistors of ohmic values, 5Ω, 12Ω, 20Ω, 15Ω, and 8Ω are connected together in series, with the series combination connected across a DC battery voltage source of 24 volts. Calculate the loop current, IS flowing around the circuit, and the voltage drops across each resistor using the voltage division rule. No1.

What is a series connected circuit?

So in a series connected circuit, the value of the voltage source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops (the potential difference that appears across a component) around the series loop. Note here that the word “sum” relates to a linear addition of the voltages, since our series circuit example is supplied by a constant DC voltage.
