00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.903
Here is the problem: Resistors of 47, 33 Ω are connected in series to a 24 V battery. Find the total resistance and current.

2
00:00:10.353 --> 00:00:15.113
Resistors in series carry the same current; their resistances add.

3
00:00:15.913 --> 00:00:17.991
Series: resistances add.

4
00:00:18.441 --> 00:00:20.554
Total current from Ohm prime s law.

5
00:00:21.004 --> 00:00:26.147
Voltage across each resistor (same current). The drops add up to the supply voltage.

6
00:00:26.597 --> 00:00:27.630
Power delivered.

7
00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:36.453
So the answer is R T equals 80 Ω; I equals 0.3 A, P equals 7.2 W.

8
00:00:36.903 --> 00:00:41.709
The equivalent resistance of a series chain is always larger than its largest resistor.

9
00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:47.408
R T greater than or equal to every individual resistor, which checks out.
