Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Total resistance of the series circuit
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The total resistance of the series circuit is 707 Ω.
Explanation of Solution
Description:
In a series circuit, the current flow has only one path. Hence, the total resistance offered to the flow of current is equal to the sum of each individual resistance in the circuit.
According to the given data, there are five individual resistances present in the series circuit. These may be designated as,
• R1 = 200 Ω
• R2 = 86 Ω
• R3 = 91 Ω
• R4 = 180 Ω
• R5 = 150Ω
The total resistance RT may be calculated as,
RT = R1+R2+R3+R4+R5
= 200 Ω +86Ω +91Ω +180Ω +150Ω
= 707 Ω
Conclusion:
Hence, the total resistance of the series circuit is 707 Ω.

- We wish to power an extremely bright light to communicate with a neighbor using morse code. We let the system run 24/7, but we swap out the battery every 24 hours for a fully charged one and recharge the drained battery with a solar charger.
