I series combination of resistances:
(a) p.d. i same across each resistance
(b) total resistance is reduced
(c) current is same in each resistance
(d) all above are true.

Solution

Option (c) is correct, i.e., in series combination of resistances, current is the same in each resistance.

This is because in a series combination, the current has a single path for its flow. Hence, the same current passes through each resistor.
