question 41

Multiple Choice

In a series circuit, total power P_T is calculated as:

• A) \(\mathrm { P } _ { 1 } + \mathrm { P } _ { 2 } + \mathrm { P } _ { 3 } + \text { etc. }\)
• B) \(\mathrm { P } _ { 1 } \times \mathrm { P } _ { 2 } \times \mathrm { P } _ { 3 } \times \text { etc. }\)
• C) \(1 / \mathrm { P } _ { 1 } + 1 / \mathrm { P } _ { 2 } + 1 / \mathrm { P } _ { 3 } + \mathrm { etc }\)
• D) \(\mathrm { P } _ { 1 } \div \mathrm { P } _ { 2 } \div \mathrm { P } _ { 3 } \div \text { etc. }\)
