Vedclass · Accepted Answer

The current flowing through each resistor is the same.

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a series combination of resistors,the resistors are connected end-to-end such that the same amount of electric current $(I)$ flows through each resistor.According to Ohm's Law $(V = IR)$,since the current $(I)$ is constant and the resistance $(R)$ of each resistor may differ,the voltage drop $(V)$ across each resistor will be different.The equivalent resistance $(R_{eq})$ in a series circuit is the sum of individual resistances $(R_{eq} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3)$,which is always greater than the largest individual resistor.Therefore,the statement that the current flowing through each resistor is the same is correct.
