Note:-
1. Same current means resistances are in series.
Example 1: Three resistors are connected in series across a 12V battery. The one
resistance has a value of 1 ohm, second has a voltage drop of 4 Volts & third has power
dissipation of 12 W. Calculate value of each resistance & circuit current.
Solution: Hint V = V1 + V2 + V3
