Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect on the total resistance in a series circuit if one resistor is removed? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that a series circuit has multiple resistors connected one after the other.
  • Step 2: Know that the total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of all individual resistances.
  • Step 3: If you remove one resistor from the series circuit, you are taking away one of the resistances.
  • Step 4: Calculate the new total resistance by adding up the resistances of the remaining resistors.
  • Step 5: Realize that since you have removed a resistor, the total resistance will be less than it was before.
