Question

Series/Parallel Circuits: When unequal resistors are connected in series across an ideal battery, the same power is dissipated in each one. the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the average of all the resistances. the potential difference across each is the same. the equivalent resistance of the circuit is less than that of the smallest resistor. the current flowing in each is the same.

Step 1

This is because the current has only one path to flow through, so it remains constant throughout the circuit. Show more…
