Question

Consider the following statements:

1. In series connection, same current flows through each element in the circuit.

2. In parallel connection, the same potential difference is present across each element in the circuit.

• A. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
• B. Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is incorrect.
• C. Both the statements are incorrect.
• D. Both the statements are correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both the statements are correct.

In series connection, the same current flows through each element present in the circuit whereas in parallel connection, the same voltage difference exists across each element in the circuit.
