Question

Which statement is true for a series circuit?

Answer 1

Each of those choices has some truth to it, but three of the five choices also include some nonsense.

A.  The voltage divides proportionally among all resistors in the circuit.

B.   As more resistors are added, the current will decrease.   True, because the total resistance will increase.

C.   The sum of the voltage drops will be the total voltage in the circuit.

D.   The current is the same through all resistors in the circuit.

E.  The equivalent resistance will be greater than the individual resistors.  True, because the equivalent resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

Answer 2

D. the current is the same across all resistors in the circuit.
