Question

Why is current constant for resistors connected in series and voltage constant for resistors connected in parallel?

Open in App
Solution

#current is constant for a series resistors since according to Kirchoff's current rule ,current entering a branch should leave the branch ,therefore current through each resistors in series is constant # Now the voltage across parallel resistors are same because the potential difference between any two points remains same no matter which branch it takes
