00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.112
Here is the problem: Resistors of 100, 220 Ω are connected in series to a 9 V battery. Find the total resistance and current.

2
00:00:10.562 --> 00:00:15.148
Resistors in series carry the same current; their resistances add.

3
00:00:15.948 --> 00:00:17.968
Series: resistances add.

4
00:00:18.418 --> 00:00:20.403
Total current from Ohm prime s law.

5
00:00:20.853 --> 00:00:26.054
Voltage across each resistor (same current). The drops add up to the supply voltage.

6
00:00:26.504 --> 00:00:27.584
Power delivered.

7
00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:41.584
So the answer is R T equals 320 Ω; I equals 0.028125 A, P equals 0.253125 W.

8
00:00:42.034 --> 00:00:46.945
The equivalent resistance of a series chain is always larger than its largest resistor.

9
00:00:47.745 --> 00:00:52.668
R T greater than or equal to every individual resistor, which checks out.
