Here is the problem: Resistors of 150, 330, 520 Ω are connected in series to a 50 V battery. Find the total resistance and current.

2
00:00:12.861 --> 00:00:17.470
Resistors in series carry the same current; their resistances add.

3
00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:20.290
Series: resistances add.

4
00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:22.876
Total current from Ohm prime s law.

5
00:00:23.326 --> 00:00:28.516
Voltage across each resistor (same current). The drops add up to the supply voltage.

6
00:00:28.966 --> 00:00:29.999
Power delivered.

7
00:00:30.799 --> 00:00:40.493
So the answer is R T equals 1000 Ω; I equals 0.05 A, P equals 2.5 W.

8
00:00:40.943 --> 00:00:45.819
The equivalent resistance of a series chain is always larger than its largest resistor.

9
00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:51.507
R T greater than or equal to every individual resistor, which checks out.
