Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a series circuit, if one resistor has a resistivity of 5 Ω·m and another has 10 Ω·m, what is the total resistance?
Correct Answer: 15 Ω
  • Step 1: Identify the resistances of the two resistors. The first resistor has a resistance of 5 Ω and the second resistor has a resistance of 10 Ω.
  • Step 2: Understand that in a series circuit, the total resistance is found by adding the resistances of all the resistors together.
  • Step 3: Add the resistance of the first resistor (5 Ω) to the resistance of the second resistor (10 Ω).
  • Step 4: Calculate the total resistance: 5 Ω + 10 Ω = 15 Ω.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the total resistance in the series circuit is 15 Ω.
