SOLVE PROBLEMS INVOLVING RESISTIVITY AND CONDUCTIVITY

resistors of resistance R₁, R₂ and R₃ are joint together, they’re said to be connected in series. It should be noted that;
The current through a series circuit is the same all over ( I.e I=i₁=i₂=i₃).
The voltage drop across each resistor is different depending on its resistances
The applied voltage (Vs) is equal to the sum of the Potential difference across each resistor. (i.e Vs = V(R₁) + V(R₂) + V(R₃) or V = V₁ + V₂ + V₃
Where Vs = IR; V₁ = IR₁; V₂ = IR₂; V₃ = IR₃
IR = IR₁ + IR₂ + IR₃
⇒(equivalent resistance), Req = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
For n resistors connected in series, the equivalent resistance
Req is given by Req

Instruments used in the workshop should be properly insulated for the available voltage to prevent electric shock.
2. Workshop floor should be free from grease, oil and water to prevent electric workers from falling or stumbling and getting injured.
3. First aid must be available and equipped in the workshop.
4. Safety boots should be worn to prevent electrical hazard
5. The passage way to the workshop should be free from obstruction to allow free movement of workers.
6. Protective
