Series Resistance
Two or more resistor can be connected in series to increase the total resistance . The Total Resistance is equal to the sum of all the resistor's resistance . The total resistance In Series connected circuit Current and voltage will be reduced
Series Impedance
A branch is defined as any group of resistors, capacitors and inductors that can be circled with only two wires crossing the circle boundary.
A branch connects two, non-trivial nodes or junctions.
Within a branch the components are said to be "in series."
Consider a branch containing a Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor.
Say the driving function or source is
There is just one current, .
Symbolic Derivation
The terminal equations are:
or
or
There are no junction equations and the loop equation is:
Solving the terminal equations for voltage, substituting and then dividing by yields:
In terms of impedance, if:
Then:
In general, impedances add in series like resistors do in the time domain:
Numeric Example
In rectangular form:
In polar form (remember impedance is not a phasor, it is a concept in the phasor or complex frequency domain):
