Basic Electric Circuits Series Circuits ET 150 Series Circuit Learning Objectives In this lesson you will: learn the characteristics of a series electric circuit. solve a series electric circuit using a voltmeter and Ohm’s Law see how a series circuit can be used as a voltage divider solve example problems find the equivalent resistance for a series-connected string of resistors Series Circuits Series Circuit Characteristics Components connected end-to-end Current only follows one path Voltage of source divides between components according to their value Sum of component voltage values must equal source value R2 R1 + + VR1 I VR2 + VR3 Es R3 Es = VR1+VR2+VR3 Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law Series Circuits Solving series circuits using Ohm’s law and a voltmeter VR1=6.5 V VR2=8.5 V I=? + R1=65 Ω + R2=85 Ω + R3=50 Ω Es=20V VR3=5.0 V Es = VR1 + VR2 +VR3 = 6.5+8.5+5 = 20V I= VR1 6.5 V = = 0.1 A R1 65 Ω I= VR 2 8.5 V = = 0.1 A R2 85 Ω I= VR 3 5.0 V = = 0.1 A R3 50 Ω Current, I same in all resistors Series Circuits The Voltage Divider Circuit The voltage divider circuit is a series circuit with two resistors Design Formula R1 Es ⎛ R2 ⎞ ⎟⎟ E s Vout = ⎜⎜ ⎝ R1 + R 2 ⎠ R2 Voltage across resistor, R2, is considered the output of the circuit.
