Question
Which of the following is an incorrect statement?a) The currents through electronic devices connected in series are equal.b) The potential drops across electronic devices connected in parallel are equal.c) More current flows across the smaller resistance when two resistors are in parallel connection.d) More current flows across the smaller resistance when two resistors are in serial connection.
Step 1
Therefore, statement A is correct. This can be represented as: \[I_{1} = I_{2} = I_{3} = ... = I_{n}\] where \(I_{1}, I_{2}, I_{3}, ..., I_{n}\) are the currents through the electronic devices connected in series. Show more…
