Question

If three resistors of different values of resistance are connected in a series combination, then all of them will definitely have the same value of:

• A. Potential difference between their ends
• B. Amount of heat produced in them
• C. Electric current flowing through them
• D. None of the above

Hint:

In a series circuit, current is the same through all components, but the potential difference varies across each component.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In a series circuit, the electric current remains the same through all the components. The potential difference across each resistor will be different depending on the value of resistance, according to Ohm's law. Hence, the electric current flowing through each resistor in the series combination is the same.
