Series circuits have only one path for the current to flow, and the supply voltage is the sum of all the individual voltages. The total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of all the individual resistances. Applying Ohm's Law to a series circuit, the supply voltage is equal to the current multiplied by the total resistance, and the voltage across each component is equal to the current multiplied by its respective resistance. In a series circuit with R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 20 Ω, and VS = 120 V, the total resistance is ______.
