Sara Taboni Miller Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hi everyone, I just have a quick question that is blocking me with my studying, if I'm asked to know the order of readings on an ammeter in a circuit , and even more than one since there are several resistors , how an I suppose to know that? Even Smallest to largest .. :/ I really don't know how that work , but I'm aware that they are always connected in series . Thanks the attention !

studiot Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 There must be more to this question so post the actual question and preferably the circuit. In particular what do they mean by order? Polarity? Connection with a voltmeter as well? Position in circuit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Is English language the problem? I really don't understand what you were asking and it seems no one else was willing to hazard a guess either. So please try again to explain your question.

Handy andy Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I guess you are simply asking about ohms law V = I x R, Where V = volts, I = amps, and R = resistance. If you have several resistors in series R1 to R5 for instance this can be rewritten V = I ( R1+R2+R3+R4+R5 ) It is the same current flowing through each resistor. The total voltage across the resistors is the sum of the voltage induced in the individual resistors. V = VR1 + VR2 + VR3 + VR4 + VR5. I hope the above helps, what is your first language.

petrushka.googol Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Resistors in series add impedance. I = V / (R1 + R2 + ..... RN) //From Ohm's Law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
