Question
Two resistors of $5 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ are connected in series in a circuit. How does the current passing through them compare?
Step 1
In a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the total voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component. Show more…

Simple Circuits
Compare the power used in the $2 \Omega$ resistor in each of the following circuits: (i) a $6 \mathrm{~V}$ battery in series with $1 \Omega$ and $2 \Omega$ resistors, and (ii) a $4 \mathrm{~V}$ battery in parallel with $12 \Omega$ and $2 \Omega$ resistors.
Two resistors of resistances $10 \Omega$ and $20 \Omega$ are joined in parallel. A potential difference of $12 \mathrm{~V}$ is applied across the combination. Find the power consumed by each resistor.
