    Question

    In a series combination of resistors, how is the voltage distributed across each resistor?

    A.

    The same across all resistors

    B.

    Unaffected by resistance values

    C.

    Inversely proportional to resistance

    D.

    Directly proportional to resistance

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is option (d) Directly proportional to resistance.

    Information booster :

    The voltage across each resistor in a series combination depends on its resistance, and the total voltage is distributed proportionally to their resistances.

    1. Current is the Same Across All Resistors:

      In a series circuit, the same current flows through all the resistors because there is only one path for the current.​
    2. Voltage is Divided Proportionally:

      The total voltage supplied to the series circuit is distributed across the resistors in proportion to their resistances. A resistor with a higher resistance will have a larger share of the voltage drop.
