Question

A 9 V battery is hooked up to two resistors in series. One has a resistance of 5 and the other has a resistance of 10 . Several locations along the circuit are marked with letters, as shown in the figure. Which statement is true?

Select one: A. The current at A is greater than the current at B, which is equal to the current at C, which is greater than the current at D.

B. The current at A is equal to the current at B, which is equal to the current at C, which is equal to the current at D.

C. The current at A is greater than the current at B, which is greater than the current at C, which is greater than the current at D.

Explanation / Answer

In series the current is same at all points in the circuit.

So, answer is

The current at A is equal to the current at B, which is equal to the current at C, which is equal to the current at D.
