Resistance in series so are R1+R2+R3+R4+.....

In a series circuit is R=R1+R2+R3+R4. So resistance will be increase.

When resistors are in the series connection, it's resistance are increased because the formula of the series connections is R=R1+R2+R3+....+Rn.

Because we know that,
R = R1+R2+R3+.......+Rn.
So if another resistor is connected in series then total resistance of the circuit will be increase.
R = R1+R2+R3+.......+Rn.
So if another resistor is connected in series then total resistance of the circuit will be increase.

We know that resistance are connected series R=R1+R2+R3...+Rn.
Resistance increase.
Resistance increase.

R1 = 6 ohm R2=4 ohm when these two are connected in series i.e. R1+R2=10 ohm so the value is gradually increase so like this the value of the fourth resistor is also increases.

When the resistances are connected in series all the resistances are added hence the value of resistance increase.

Suppose when three resistances are added together then the resistance value will increases, because we know that when they are connected in series then the result will be R=r1+r2+r3.

Suppose r1=1ohm, r2=2ohm, r3=3ohm.
Then we know in series R=r1+r2+r3.
i.e 1+2+3=6ohm.
Therefore by adding one more resistance it's resistance automatically increases as per in series circuit.

Since the value of the resistors is not given ,assuming that the fourth resistor R is connected in series with three more resistors the net resistance is R1+R2+R3+R4 = R+R+R+R =4R.
The 4th resistor added increases the resistance by one fourth.( if all the resistance are equal)
