DC current solved problems on serie resistor circuit

Solved Problems on serie circuit

Serie circuit definition

Circuit in which the components are connected end to end so that current has only one path to follow throughout the circuit.
Figure  illustrates five examples of series resistive circuits. In all five examples, you will notice that the resistors are connected “in-line” with one another so that the current through the first resistor must pass through the second resistor, and the current through the second resistor must pass through the third, and so on.

Problem  N°1

In Figure (a), seven resistors are laid out on a table top. Jsing a protoboard, coiinect all the resistors in series, starting at Rh and proceeding in numerical order through the resistors until reaching R7. After completing the circuit, connect the series circuit to a dc power supply.

Solution 1 :

in Figure (b), you can see that all the resistors are now connected in series (end-to-end), and the current has only one path to follow from negative to positive.

Problem serie circuit N°2

Figure (a) shows four 1.5 V cells and three lamps. Using wires, connect all of the cells in series to create a 6 V battery source. Then connect all of the three lamps in series with one another, and finally, connect the 6 V battery source across the three-series-connected-lamp load.
Exercise serie circuit N 2

Solution 2 :

In Figure (b) you can see the final circuit containing a source, made up of four series- connected 1.5 V cells, and a load, consisting of three series-connected lamps. As explained in Chapter 2, when cells are connected in series, the total voltage (Vr) will be equal to the sum of all the cell voltages:

VT=VX + V2 + V3 + V4 = 1.5 V + 1.5 V + 1.5 V + 1.5 V = 6 V
