Answer:

They have the same current

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistors in series are usually joined together in a straight line.

The current is the same that flows throughout the cell which is Ia=Ib=Ic while the potential difference which is the voltage is gotten by the sum of all the potential difference of each resistors. This is Vt=V1+V2+V3

Answer:

They have the same current.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Ohm's Law, resistors in series have the same current, distinct potential differences and resistances. The case for n resistors in series are:


\sum_(i=1)^(n)\,V_(i) = i \cdot \sum_(i=1)^(n)\,R_(i)
