Question:
Two resistors of resistance 2Ω and 4Ω when connected to a battery will have
(a) same current flowing through them when connected in parallel
(b) same current flowing through them when connected in series.
(c) same potential difference across them when connected in series
(d) different potential difference across them when connected in parallel
Solution:
(b)
Explanation : Resistors are said to be connected in series if same current flows through them as series combination has a single path for the flow of
current. Resistors are said to be connected in parallel if potential difference across them is
