Question

Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the potential difference taken over the three resistors together

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3$

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across $R_1=\Delta V_1$

Potential difference across $R_2=\Delta V_2$

Potential difference across $R_3=\Delta V_3$

We know that in series  combination

Potential difference ,$V=V_1+V_2+V_3$

Using the formula

$\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3$

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.
