Ohm's law defines the relationship between the voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit: I = V / R. The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.
The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of each resistor: The current through each resistor in series is equal, but the voltage is not. For a more detailed explanation and practical examples, refer to the article resistors in series.
