Power dissipated by the entire series circuit =

(voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit).

Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit =

(current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).

What is an equation for power?

Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)


What mathematical equation is used for a circuit to find I when you know P and R?

To find the current (I) in a circuit when you know the power (P) and resistance (R), you can use the equation derived from Ohm's Law and the power formula: ( P = I^2 R ). Rearranging this gives ( I = \sqrt{\frac{P}{R}} ). This equation allows you to calculate the current based on the known power and resistance values.

Find a power series representation?

To find a power series representation of a function, you typically express it in the form ( f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n (x - c)^n ), where ( c ) is the center of the series and ( a_n ) are the coefficients determined by the function's derivatives at that point. A common approach is to use Taylor series, where ( a_n = \frac{f^{(n)}(c)}{n!} ). For example, the power series for ( e^x ) centered at ( c = 0 ) is ( \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!} ).


How is power solved for in series circuit?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma.

How many pathways exits for electricity travel on in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, there is only one path for electricity to travel along the circuit from the power source through each component connected in series back to the power source.


Why is the total power equals the sum of the individual values of power in a series circuit or a parallel circuit is used?

The total power equals the sum of the individual powers because power is the rate at which energy is supplied. Whether you have a series or parallel circuit, the total power comes from the power source.


How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit alike?

Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.


What is the difference between parallel and series?

If you are referring to an electrical circuit, a series circuit is wired in such a way that if one object is removed from the circuit, the circuit is broken and everything within the circuit loses power. In a parallel circuit different components of the circuit can be removed without disabling power to the rest of the devices within the circuit.

When you have watts in a series circuit do you add up the total or is it the reciprocal?

The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.

What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?

If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.


What is the total power in a series circuit that has 82mA of current and a 12v source voltage?

To find the total power in a series circuit, you can use the formula ( P = V \times I ), where ( P ) is power, ( V ) is voltage, and ( I ) is current. Given a current of 82 mA (which is 0.082 A) and a voltage of 12 V, the calculation would be ( P = 12 V \times 0.082 A = 0.984 W ). Therefore, the total power in the circuit is approximately 0.98 watts.


How is a parallel circuit the same as a series circuit?

In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
