Series Voltage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Series Voltage (\(V_{series}\)):

\[ V_{series} = \sum (V_d) \]

Where:

\(V_{series}\) is the Series Voltage (volts)
\(V_d\) is the voltage drop (up to 5 different voltage drops)

What is Series Voltage?

Series Voltage is the total voltage across a series circuit, which is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component in the circuit. This value is important for understanding the overall voltage requirements and behavior of the circuit.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Voltage Drop 1 (\(Vd1\)) = 5 volts
Voltage Drop 2 (\(Vd2\)) = 3 volts
Voltage Drop 3 (\(Vd3\)) = 2 volts

Using the formula:

\[ V_{series} = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 \text{ volts} \]

The Series Voltage is 10 volts.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Voltage Drop 1 (\(Vd1\)) = 4.5 volts
Voltage Drop 2 (\(Vd2\)) = 1.5 volts
Voltage Drop 3 (\(Vd3\)) = 3 volts
Voltage Drop 4 (\(Vd4\)) = 2 volts

Using the formula:

\[ V_{series} = 4.5 + 1.5 + 3 + 2 = 11 \text{ volts} \]

The Series Voltage is 11 volts.
