Q3 of 30 Page 127

Three resistors 1Ω, 2Ω and 3Ω are combined in series. What is the total resistance of the combination?

The diagram is given as:


When three resistors are connected in series then the total resistance is equal to sum of individual resistance.


Total resistance is equal to = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 Ω
