Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a series curcuit Current is divided across the resistors meaning the more you add resistors the more current is taken. The formula I= V/R also makes it easier to understand. The resistance is in the denominator. The more you increase it the more the current decreases.

Keep in mind Adding more resistors in a series curcuit reduc current.
