Circuit Theory/Series Resistance

< Circuit Theory

Series Resistance

Two or more resistor can be connected in series to increase the total resistance . The Total Resistance is equal to the sum of all the resistor's resistance . The total resistance In Series connected circuit Current and voltage will be reduced

Series Impedance

used to show how impedance add's in series

A branch is defined as any group of resistors, capacitors and inductors that can be circled with only two wires crossing the circle boundary.

A branch connects two, non-trivial nodes or junctions.

Within a branch the components are said to be "in series."

Consider a branch containing a Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor.

Say the driving function or source is

There is just one current, .

Symbolic Derivation

the impedance symbol is .. a box

The terminal equations are:

or
or

There are no junction equations and the loop equation is:

Solving the terminal equations for voltage, substituting and then dividing by yields:

In terms of impedance, if:

Then:

In general, impedances add in series like resistors do in the time domain:

Numeric Example

In rectangular form:

In polar form (remember impedance is not a phasor, it is a concept in the phasor or complex frequency domain):
