The total resistance of the resistors is R=44Ω. And the current will be I= 0.27 A.

What is the function of a resistor?

Resistors are electronic components whose main function is to limit the flow of electrical charges by converting electrical energy into thermal energy.

A)The resistances connected in series in an arm of a circuit, total resistance of that arm of is given by algebric sum individual resistances.

R = R1 + R2 + R3 = 12 + 8 + 24 = 44Ω

B) Ohm's law gives that:

V = IR

Where,

  • Voltage applied to circuit (V)
  • current flowing through the circuit (I)
  • total resistance of the circuit (R)

(I) = V/R = 12 / 44 = 3/11 = 0.27 A

C) In series combination, all the resistances are connected one after other in a linear fashion. So, current flowing through first resistor passes to second, and then third and so on. Hence, the current flowing through all the resistance in series combination is same as the current flowing through that arm of circuit.
