For three resistors of different resistance values wired in series with a DC pow

Question

For three resistors of different resistance values wired in series with a DC power supply, what is true about the current through those resistors and the voltage drops across those resistors? The current is higher through the smaller resistors and the voltage drops across each resistor are the same. The currents through each resistor are the same and the voltage drops across each resistor are the same. The currents through each resistor are the same and the voltage drops are higher across the larger resistors. The current is higher through the smaller resistors and the voltage drops are higher across the larger resistors. For three resistors of different resistance values wired in parallel with a DC power supply, what is true about the current through those resistors and the voltage drops across those resistors? The current is higher through the smaller resistors and the voltage drops across each resistor are the same. The currents through each resistor are the same and the voltage drops across each resistor are the same. The currents through each resistor are the same and the voltage drops are higher across the larger resistors. The current is higher through the smaller resistors and the voltage drops are higher across the larger resistors.

Explanation / Answer

1. 3rd option is corrrect because

V = IR

as R increases so, V increases,

and current is same

2.

1st option

because in parallel V is same

and I cheanges as resistance increases
