Question

Please also provide an expanation.

If two resistors R1 and R2(R2 > R1) are connected in series as shown in the figure below, which of the following must be true? In each case justify your answer. I1 = I2 = I3 The current is greater in than R1 than in R2. The electrical power consumption is the same for both resistors. The electrical power consumption is greater in R2 than in R1. The potential drop is the same across both resistors. The potential at point a is the same as at point c. The potential at point b is lower than at point c. The potential at point c is lower than at point b.

Explanation / Answer

a)

they are connected in series

I1 = I2 = I3

b)

false

same explanation as above

c)

false

power = IR^2

d)

true

R2 > R2

so power consumption is greater in R2

e)

fale

V = IR

resistance is different

f)

false

potential decrease along the direction of current

g)

false

k)

true
