Series Resistance

A circuit composed solely of resistors in series is a series circuit.

The equivalent resistance equals the sum of the resistances.

Formula

QuantityVariable["R", "ElectricResistance"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["R", "1"], "ElectricResistance"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["R", "2"], "ElectricResistance"]

symbol description physical quantity
R equivalent resistance "ElectricResistance"
R1 resistance 1 "ElectricResistance"
R2 resistance 2 "ElectricResistance"

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Series Resistance"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Series Resistance"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[ ResourceObject[ "Series Resistance"], {QuantityVariable["R","ElectricResistance"] -> Quantity[20, "Ohms"], QuantityVariable[ \!\(\*SubscriptBox[\("R"\), \("1"\)]\),"ElectricResistance"] -> Quantity[10, "Ohms"]}]
Out[3]=
