Question
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in series is given by:
1/Rs = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
Rs = R1 + R2 + R3
Rs = R1 x R2 x R3
Rs = R1 - R2 - R3
Answer
Rs = R1 + R2 + R3
Detailed Explanation
For resistors in series, the equivalent resistance is the simple sum of individual resistances.
