 To simplify series circuits, we will often try to replace the series resistors with a single resistor that has the equivalent resistance as the combination of resistors. This would mean that you get to deal with one resistor instead of two for example. We can do this by comparing the circuit with two resistors to the circuit with the equivalent resistance. In both of these circuits we would want to keep the battery the same (would have the same $\Delta V_{bat}$) and keep the current coming out of the battery as the same (same $I_{bat}$). From the loop rule around the combination circuit, we know that:
 $$|\Delta V_{bat}|=|\Delta V_1| + |\Delta V_2|$$

 If we //__assume that our resistors are ohmic__//, then we can rewrite the potential changes in terms of the resistance and current:
 $$\Delta V_{bat}=I_1R_1+I_2R_2$$
