Answer #1

The total resistance of a series circuit is the summation of the value of each resistance present in the circuit.

Let there are three resistance R1=10 ohm,R2=20 ohm, and R3=30 ohm resistance are in series.

Then the total resistance of the circuit

  

  

In this way we can calculate the total resistance in a series circuit.
