V1=I.R1
V2=I.R2
Vtot = V1+V2=I.R1+I.R2=I(R1+R2)=I.Rtot

Theory – Electromagnetic Induction
Current passing through a coil creates a
magnetic field
V = I.XL
F = frequency in Hz

Current flow in AC Circuits – Impedance
The two coils (differential or absolute + balancing coil) form the legs
of the bridge. When the bridge is balanced, the measured voltage will
be zero. Any change in the condition of either coil will result in an
unbalanced bridge, the degree of imbalance corresponds to the
change in coil impedance
