Series Circuits Practice Problems
1. Given the series circuit below find the following unknown values.
Show all your work step-by step
GIVEN | FIND | FIND |
ITotal = 2 A | VTotal= ? | RTotal = ? |
V1 = 2 V | R 1 = ? | V2 = |
R2 = 10 Ω | I1 = ? | I2 = ? |
2. Calculate the total power used by the above circuit
3. Add a third resistor in series to the above circuit.
The value of this resistor is R3 = 10 ohms.
The value of the current stays the same (ITotal = 2 A).
Recalculate all the values in the table above and the value of V3 and I3.
