Question 17
Two resistors of resistance 2 $\Omega$ and 4 $\Omega$ when connected to a battery will have

(a) same current flowing through them when connected in parallel
(b) same current flowing through them when connected in series
(c) same potential difference across them when connected in series
(d) different potential difference across them when connected in parallel

Answer 1

(b) same current flowing through them when connected in series

Resistors when connected in series, have the same amount of current flowing through them but will have different potential difference across them.
Resistors when connected in parallel, have same potential difference across them but will have a different amount of current flowing through them.
