R6 R5 R4
1KΩ0 500Ω 1KΩ0

V. Closure
When two or more resistors are connected together end-to-end in a single branch,
the resistors are said to be connected together in series. Resistors in Series carry the same
current, but the voltage drop across them is not the same as their individual resistance values
will create different voltage drops across each resistor as determined by Ohm’s Law ( V =
I*R ). Then series circuits are voltage dividers.

In a series resistor network the individual resistors add together to give an equivalent
resistance, ( RT ) of the series combination. The resistors in a series circuit can be
interchanged without affecting the total resistance, current, or power to each resistor or the
circuit.
