Question
In series combination of resistances ______.
Options
p.d. is same across each resistance
total resistance is reduced
current is same in each resistance
all of the above are true
Solution
In series of combinations of resistances current is same in each resistance.
Explanation:
In a series combination, the current has a single path for its flow. Hence, the same current passes through each resistor.
