Question

State whether given statement is True or False
The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the difference between the largest and smallest value resistors.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

A series circuit is a circuit in which resistors are arranged in a chain, so the current has only one path to take. The current is the same through each resistor. The total resistance of the circuit is found by simply adding up the resistance values of the individual resistors:

equivalent resistance of resistors in series : $R_s=R_1+R_2+R_3+...$
