Answer:

b. the rate at which charge moves through each

Step-by-step explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, they are connected in the same branch of the circuit.

This means that the current flowing through each resistor is the same.

However, current is defined as the rate at which charges move:


I=(q)/(\Delta t)

where q is the amount of charge that flows through a given point in a time interval
\Delta t.

Therefore, the correct answer is

b. the rate at which charge moves through each
