    This document discusses series circuits and Ohm's Law. It defines a series circuit as one where components are wired one after the other such that if one component fails, the entire circuit is broken. The key rules for series circuits are: (1) the total resistance equals the sum of individual resistances, (2) the total voltage equals the sum of individual voltages, and (3) the current throughout is the same. It provides an example calculation of voltage, resistance, and current in a series circuit and checks the answer.

    SERIES CIRCUITS

    OHM’S LAW
    FIRST OBSERVATION
    2022-2023
    OCTOBER 6, 2022

    MASTER TEACHER I
    REVIEW OF THE PAST LESSON:

    WHAT IS OHM’S LAW?

    The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely


    proportional to the resistance. I=V/R

    EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING THREE FORMULA.


    WHAT IS THE UNIT OF MEASURE FOR VOLTAGE, CURRENT
    AND RESISTANCE?
    Series Circuit. In a series circuit, many bulbs are wired one after
    the other, so that when one of the bulb is busted, all will not light
    up. The reason is that the current cannot pass through the bulb
    because of the filament is cut. So, there is no continuity for
    current in order to go back to the power source.
    In a series connection, electricity flows through each electrical
    device. You must observe that the two bulbs connected in series
    would light more brightly than if there were three bulbs in the circuit.
    The brightness of the light depends on the amount flowing in each
    device.

    Laws of series circuit:

    1. The total resistance in the circuit is the sum of all


    individual resistances.

    2. The total voltage in the circuit is equal to the sum of the


    individual voltages.

    3. The current throughout the circuit is the same as the


    individual current in the circuit.
    RT = R1 + R2 + R3
    RT = 30 + 15 + 15
    RT = 60 OHMS
    VT = V1 + V2 + V3
    VT = 4V + 4V + 4V
    VT = 12 VOLTS
    I3
    IT= 1.5 A
    I2
    I1

    If IT is given then, IT = I1 = I2 =I3


    IT=1.5 A, I1=1.5 A, I2=1.5 A, I3-1.5 A
    APPLICATION: Exercise number 1

    R1= 4 ohms
    VT= 12 volts
    R2= 6 ohms

    R3= 8 ohms

    1. What is the total voltage in the circuit?


    2. What is the total resistance in the circuit?
    3. What is the total current in the circuit?
    4. Compute for V1, V2 and V3
    5. Check your answer.
    1. VT = 12 VOLTS
    2. RT = R1 + R2 + R3
    =4+6+8
    = 18 OHMS
    3. Since, VT and RT is given applying the OHM’S LAW formula;

    IT = VT/RT
    = 12/18
    = 0.67 Amperes or Amps.
    4. Make a table ( FIRST STEP)

    VT= 12 VOLTS IT= 0.67 A RT= 18 OHMS


    V1= I1= R1= 4 OHMS
    V2= I2= R2= 6 OHMS
    V3= I3= R3= 8 OHMS
    SECOND STEP
    APPLYING THE THIRD RULE FOR SERIES COMPUTATION WHICH THE
    TOTAL CURRENT OR;
    IT=I1=I2=I3

    VT= 12 VOLTS IT= 0.67 A RT= 18 OHMS


    V1= I1= 0.67 A R1= 4 OHMS
    V2= I2=0.67 A R2= 6 OHMS
    V3= I3=0.67 A R3= 8 OHMS

    THIRD STEP
    WE CAN NOW SOLVE FOR V1, V2 AND V3 USING THE FORMULA
    V= IXR

    V1= I1 X R1
    V2= I2 X R2
    V3= I3 X R3

    5. CHECKING ANSWERS:
    V1+V2+V3= VT
    R1= 10 OHMS
    VT= 12 VOLTS
    R2= 20 OHMS

    R3= 30 OHMS

    1. What is the total voltage in the circuit?


    2. What is the total resistance in the circuit?
    3. What is the total current in the circuit?
    4. Compute for V1, V2 and V3
    5. Check your answer.
    1. WHAT IS A SERIES CIRCUIT?
    2. WHAT ARE THE THREE RULES IN COMPUTING SERIES
    CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE, URRENT AND RESISTANCE?
    3. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE THREE BULBS CONNECTED
    WHEN THE VOLTAGE OF 220V IS APPLIED?
    4. SO HOW DO YOU ANALYZE NOW A SERIES CIRCUIT ? AND
    WHY IS IT THAT THE BULBS ARE DIMMER THAN THEIR
    ACTUAL LIGHTS?
