Question

In a series connection of resistors, the potential difference between the two extremes of the arrangement is equal to the sum of the potential differences across individual resistors.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In a series connection of resistors:
1. The applied voltage drops across each load element (resistance). The sum of voltage drops across all the resistors equals the overall potential difference.
2. The current is same through all the resistors.
3. From the above two statements, it can be proved that the net resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.
