Q579
When a number of resistors are connected in series in a circuit, the value of current:
A.
Increases
B.
Becomes half
C.
Decreases
D.
Remains the same
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The same current flows through each resistor in series. Individual resistors in series do not get the total source voltage, but divide it. The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances: RN(series)=R1+R2+R3+… +RN.
