Resistors of 10 ohms, 20 ohms, and 30 ohms are connected in series with a batter

Question

Resistors of 10 ohms, 20 ohms, and 30 ohms are connected in series with a battery. The 10 ohm resistor is closest to the positive terminal and the 30 ohm resistor is closest to the positive terminal and the 30 ohm resistor is closest to the negative terminal. What happens as the current flows through this circuit?

a) A little current is consumed in the 10 ohm resistor, more in the 20 ohm resistor, and the most in the 30 ohm.

b) The most current is consumed in the 10 ohm resistor, less in the 20 ohm resistorn, and the least in the 30 ohm.

c) The resistors wahc consume the same amount of current.

d) None of the resistors consume current.

Explanation / Answer

When all resistors are in series then cirrent through all the resistors which are in series combination shares equal amount of current through them.

Hence answer is (c).
