Question

Three resistors, R1, R2, R3, are in series with each other. R1 < R2 < R3. The current through R1 is i. Which statement is true?

R1 has the largest potential difference across it.

R3 has the largest potential difference across it.

The potential difference across each resistor is the same.

The power dissipated by each resistor is the same.

If the resistors are made of the same material, and have the same cross-sectional area, then R1 is the longest.

a

R1 has the largest potential difference across it.

b
