Method: Joules.resistance_in_series

Defined in:
lib/joules/electricity.rb

.resistance_in_series(resistances) ⇒ Float

Calculates the total resistance of resistors in series.

Examples:

Joules.resistance_in_series([10, 5, 3.4, 6.3]) #=> 24.7

Parameters:

  • resistances (Array<Int, Float>) —

    each resistance in resistances is in ohms

Returns:

  • (Float) —

    return value is in ohms
