2013 MOTORCYCLE ELECTRICAL: SERIES CIRCUIT

SERIES CIRCUIT

The first discussion regarding the type of motorcycle electrical system circuit is a series circuit, now what? let's see
Type series circuit connection is when two or more resistance (R1, R2, and R3, and so on) linked in a single circuit / circuit shown in Figure 1. below, so that there is only one path for current flow.

Figure 1. Series Circuit

In a series circuit, the amount of current flowing is always the same at every point / place components. While the total resistance is equal to the number of prisoners each R1, R2 and R3. With the electrical resistance in the circuit, then if there is an electric current that flows will cause a voltage drop after passing resistance. The magnitude of the voltage changes with the prisoners called the voltage drop (voltage drop). In a series circuit, the sum of the voltage drop after a prisoner will be equal to the source voltage (Vt). The electric current formula, prisoners and the voltage on the series circuit is as follows:

 Strong current I flowing in a series circuit is equal to R1, R2 and R3, so it can be calculated to be:

When the current I flowing in a circuit / circuit, voltage drop V1, V2 and V3 after passing through R1, R2 and R3 are calculated with Ohm's Law.
V1 = R1 x I
V2 = R2 x I
V3 = R3 x I
Based on the example image above magnitude 3.8 each resistance, strong currents and voltages can be calculated as follows:
Total resistance  = R1 + R2 Rtotal + R3Ω
                           = 2 + 4 + 6 Ω
                           = 12 Ω
