Series Circuit Characteristics
ƒ Components connected end-to-end
ƒ Current only follows one path
ƒ Voltage of source divides between
components according to their value

must equal source value

The Voltage Divider Circuit
The voltage divider circuit is a series circuit with two resistors

Voltage across resistor, R2,
is considered the output of the
circuit.

Series Circuits
Example: A 120 V dc source is series connected to a 50 kΩ and
a 100 kΩ resistor. (See the figure.) What is the voltage output
read by the meter?

Vout = ⎜⎜
⎝ R1 + R 2 ⎠
R1=50 kΩ

Series Resistors
Simplifying series resistors
Equivalent Circuit
RT
Voltage source will supply the
same current, I, to RT as to
R1+R2+R3 .
RT
RT = R1 + R2 +R3
RT is the equivalent value of
the series resistors
This formula works for any number of
resistors
Simplifying Series Resistors
Example
Find the equivalent resistance, RT, for the circuit below.
120 Ω
68 Ω
RT =R1+R2+R3
RT=120 Ω +68 Ω + 47 Ω
47 Ω
RT=235 Ω
RT=235 Ω
