What type of circuit has all its resistors in the same path?

A series circuit

Explanation:

Resistors can be connected in two different configurations:

- Series: all resistors are connected along the same path. In this case, the current flowing through each resistor is the same, while the potential difference across each resistor is different. The total resistance of the circuit for resistor in series is given by

- Parallel: each resistor is connected to the same batter through a different branch. In this case, the potential difference across each resistor is the same, while the current flowing through each resistor is different. The total resistance of the circuit for resistors in parallel is given by

In this problem, we have resistors all connected in the same path, so they are connected in a series configuration.

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts
