Question

If three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series and by R1 > R2 > R3, then what is the relation between the currents I1, I2 and I3 respectively flowing through them?

Options

  • I1 = I2 = I3

  • I1 < I2 < I3

  • I1 > I2 > I3

  • `1/I_1 < 1/I_2 < 1/I_3`

Solution

I1 = I2 = I3

Explanation:

In a series circuit, current has only one path, so the same current flows through every resistor. Thus (I1 = I2 = I3), independent of the resistance values.
