Question

Which statement correctly describes the current in a circuit that is made up of any two resistors connected in series with a battery

A. The current in the battery is less than the current in either resistor.
B. The current in the battery equals the product of the currents in the resistors.
C. The current in the battery equals the sum of the currents in the resistors.
D. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the samattery?

Answer 1

for those on ~ a p e x ~ note that this question asks when the resistors are connected in SERIES

if you have the question for in PARALLEL the answer is:

> The current the battery equals to the sum of the currents in the resistors

wink wonk

Answer 2

The answer is D. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the same.

If we have two or more components in series, the current that flows through each of them is the same.

In this case, the battery generates the current, and since there must be conservation of electric charge, no current can be lost through the resistors.
