Question

In series combination the current passing through each resistor is:

A.

Equal in all resistors

B.

Proportional to their thickness

C.

Proportional to their resistance

D.

Increases gradually

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Equal in all resistors.

• In a series combination of resistors, the same current flows through all the resistors. This is because in a series circuit, the current has only one path to flow through, so the current passing through each resistor is identical.

Explanation of other options:
  • (b) Proportional to their thickness: The current is not directly proportional to the thickness of the resistors in a series circuit. The current is the same through each resistor, regardless of their physical dimensions.
  • (c) Proportional to their resistance: While the voltage across each resistor is proportional to its resistance, the current passing through all resistors in a series combination is equal.
  • (d) Increases gradually: The current in a series circuit does not increase gradually; it remains constant throughout the circuit.
