Electronics InformationQuestion 83 of 120
What is the total resistance of two 10-ohm resistors connected in series?
a.5 ohms
b.10 ohms
c.20 ohms
d.100 ohms
Explanation
In a series circuit, resistances add together directly. Ten ohms plus ten ohms equals 20 ohms. In parallel, the total would instead be lower than either resistor.
