Question

Two resistors are connected in series with a battery as shown in the diagram below. R1 is greater than R2.

Two resistors are connected in series with a battery as shown in the diagram below. R1 is greater than R2. Which of the two resistors, if either, has the greater current flowing through it? R1 carries a greater current.R2 carries a greater current. The current is the same in each. Which of the two resistors, if either, has the greater voltage difference across it? The voltage difference is greater across R1.The voltage difference is greater across R2. The voltage is the same across each.

Explanation / Answer

As the Two resistor are in series

So Same amount of Current will flow = E/(R1 + R2)

Potential Difference = I*resistance

As R1 is Greater

So it has More Potetneial Difference accross it
