Components connected in Series are wired together as shown in the diagram.

Resistors in Series

Calculations

Rtotal = R1 + R2

or for three resistors ...

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3

or for four resistors ...

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4

Just add the values together.

Test Yourself ...

R1 = 37 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

What is the resistance of the circuit above?
