Q. When two resistors are connected in series, what is the number of common points found by a student? *
Answers
Explanation:
Resistors in series and parallel
Resistors in series
When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit.
When resistors are connected in series, the total voltage (or potential difference) across all the resistors is equal to the sum of the voltages across each resistor.
In other words, the voltages around the circuit add up to the voltage of the supply.
The total resistance of a number of resistors in series is equal to the sum of all the individual resistances.
