5.2.5 Resistors in networks
In this inquiry you will explore how resistors in circuits combine to affect the overall resistance in a circuit. Inquiry questions Disciplinary concepts In the series circuit, p.d. of the battery V is divided across the two resistors R1 and R2. Complete the equation: V=V_1+ But we know from Ohm’s law that V=IR Complete the equation: IR=IR_1+ Current I is the same everywhere in the circuit, so… In a series circuit,...
