Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

The current flowing through all the resistors in a series circuit is always different.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the electric current to flow. Therefore, the same current flows through every resistor.

The potential difference across each resistor may be different depending on its resistance, according to Ohm's law, \(V=IR\).

Hence, the current flowing through all resistors connected in series is the same.

\[{I=I_1=I_2=I_3} \]
