How to calculate current in a series circuit
https://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Total-Current
Find the total resistance of the circuit. Imagine a straw you are drinking from. Pinch it several times. Identify the total voltage of the resistor. V (total) = V1 + V2 + V3. But why is this so? ... Calculate the total current of the system. Using the straw analysis again, even in the presence of pinches, did the amount of water you get change? Remember Ohm's law. But it doesn't stop there! Try working with an example. Three resistors, R1 = 10Ω R2=2Ω R3 = 9Ω, are connected in series. A total voltage of 2.5V is applied to the circuit. V (total) = I (total) x R (total). I (total) = V (total) / R (total). I (total) = 2.5V / 21Ω. I (total) = 0.1190A.
