Fifty 100 Ohm resistors are in series. What is the equivalent resistance? What is the potential difference across each resistor if they are plugged into a 100 V power supply?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the equivalent resistance of fifty 100 Ohm resistors in series is:

Req=100 Ohm x 50 Ohm=5000 Ohm

The potential difference across each resistor in a series circuit is the same and is equal to the potential difference of the power supply. Therefore, each resistor would have a potential difference of 100 V across it.
