Question

Which of the following illustrates 2 resistors in a series circuit?

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation :

An electrical circuit can be either connected in series or parallel.

Series combination: The current flowing in each resistor is the same and the equivalent resistance is given by :

$R{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+.................+R_n$

Parallel combination: The voltage for all components in the parallel combination is the same. The equivalent resistance is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}......................+\dfrac{1}{R_{n}}$

So, our of given options the correct one is (b) because the current flowing in both the resistors is the same.
