Question

In the figure below, two resistors are kept in a single circuit. The diagram shows connection among the resistors.

• A. parallel
• B. series
• C. complete

Answer 1

The correct option is B series

In the figure, the resistors are connected end to end. If we observe carefully, the current has to pass through both the resistors in the circuit and there is no other alternative path for the current to take. This is shown in the figure below.
The path depicted in the colour red is the only available path for the current. Such a connection is referred to as a series connection.
