These would provide a resistance which is equivalent to one 12-Ω resistor. e. Three resistors with resistance values of 5-Ω , 6-Ω , and 7-Ω are placed in series. Ohm's Law works with values in the same row. In this circuit, the current flows in a clockwise direction, from point 1 to point 2 to point 3 to point 4 and back around to 1.

In fact, one might reason that the two voltage drops in circuit Y will be 8 volts and 4 volts respectively, to add to a total voltage drop of 12 volts. b. As charge moves through the external circuit, it encounters a loss of 1.5 volts of electric potential.
