Answer:
the current flowing in each is the same.
Explanation:
When resistors are connected in series, they are connected in the same branch of the circuit - this means that the same current flows through each resistor.
The other options listed are wrong because:
the same power is dissipated in each one --> false: the power dissipated in each resistor is , where I is the current and R the resistance, so it depends on the value of the resistance
the potential difference across each is the same.-- > false: this is true in parallel circuits, not series circuits
the equivalent resistance of the circuit is less than that of the smallest resistor.--> false: the equivalent resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances: , so it is larger than the resistance of the smallest resistance
the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the average of all the resistances. --> false: the equivalent resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances: , not the average
