In a series circuit what is the total applied voltage equal to?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the sum of the individual voltage drops.
In a series circuit, the total applied voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component in the circuit. This is because in a series circuit, the same current flows through each component, and the voltage drops across each component add up to the total applied voltage.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the relationship between the total applied voltage and the components in a series circuit. Option A is incorrect because the total applied voltage is not equal to the total current divided by the total resistance. Option B is incorrect because the total applied voltage is not equal to the sum of the individual currents multiplied by the number of resistors. Option C is incorrect because the total applied voltage is not equal to the total resistance divided by the total current.
