Question
The voltage across two components in series is zero. Is it possible that the voltages across the individual components aren't zero? Give an example.
Step 1
Two components are in series, meaning they are connected end-to-end, and the current flows through both of them. Show more…

Is it possible for the power factor of an L-R-C series ac circuit to be zero? Justify your answer on physical grounds.
Is it possible to connect resistors together in a way that cannot be reduced to some combination of series and parallel combinations? If so, give examples. If not, state why not.
If the voltage between two points is zero, can a test charge be moved between them with zero net work being done? Can this necessarily be done without exerting a force? Explain.
