Question

Five resistors are connected in a series and there is a current of 3 A into the first resistor. The amount of current into the second resistor is

Answer 1

Answer:

3amp because in series current is same

Answer 2

Given,

Five resistors are connected in a series and there is a current of 3 A in the first resistor.

To Find,

The amount of current in the second resistor is =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that five resistors are connected in series. The current through the first resistor is 3 A. We have to find the current in the second resistor.

$Current\: through\: the\: first\: resistor = 3\: A$

When an n number of resistors are connected in series, the current through all the resistors is equal. However, the voltage across each resistor is not the same.

Therefore, the current through the second resistor will be the same as the first one i.e. 3 A.

Hence, the amount of current into the second resistor is 3 A.
