Question

Several resistors are connected in series. Which of the following statements are true of the corresponding equivalent resistance? (Select all that apply.)

It is greater than the resistance of any of the individual resistors.

It is equal to the sum of the resistances of all the individual resistors.

It is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the inverses of the resistances of all the resistors.

It is dependent on the voltage applied across the group.

It is less than the resistance of any of the individual resistors.

Explanation / Answer

Here , for the resistances applied in series

Req =R1 + R2 + R3 + ..

the current in the resistance will be same

the correct options are

It is greater than the resistance of any of the individual resistors.

It is equal to the sum of the resistances of all the individual resistors.
