Series Circuits 14.1 In a series circuit, current follows only one path from the positive end of the battery toward the negative end. The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. The amount of energy used by a series circuit must equal the energy supplied by the battery.
Resistors can be combined in a circuit in series or in parallel. Resistors in Series. When connected in series, the total resistance, RT, is equal to. RT R 1 R 2 R 3 ... In series, the total resistance is always larger than any individual resistance. Current in series resistors: In series circuits, charge has only one path through which to flow.
