Question

Compare the equivalent resistance of two or more resistances in series with the individual resistances and justify it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent resistance of a circuit connected in series is the sum of individual resistors. So when you compare, the equivalent resistance is much greater than the individual resistors. ... since we add the inverse of each resistor value and equate with the inverse of their equivalent resistance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Equivalent resistance is more than either of the two resistances when they are connected in series. Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.  The current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component.
