What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?
Correct Answer: Total resistance increases.
- Step 1: Understand what a series circuit is. In a series circuit, all components are connected one after the other in a single path.
- Step 2: Know what a resistor is. A resistor is a component that resists the flow of electric current.
- Step 3: Remember that in a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances.
- Step 4: When you add another resistor to the series circuit, you are adding more resistance to the total.
- Step 5: Therefore, the total resistance increases as you add more resistors.
