4.1.3 Series connection of resistors
When you connect resistors one after the other in a row, you add the values
of R1 and R2 to the total resistance: R = R1 + R2
Example:
Resistance R1 = 100 Ohm and resistance R2 = 1 k-Ohm
Calculated total resistance: R = 100 Ohm + 1 k-Ohm = 1100 Ohm

4.1.4 Calculation of the power
You can use the following formulary to calculate the electric power:
P = U x I (P=electric power, U=voltage, I= current)
“P” is measured in Watt, “U” in Volt and “I” in Ampere.
Example of a calculation:
A direct current generator generates a voltage of 3,0 Volt and provide a
current output of 50mA.
3,0V x 0,5mA has a power of 0,015Watt.
