Question
In which connection voltage varies across each component.
- Series connection
- Parallel connection
- Both a and b
- None of the above
Hint:
In a series connection the resistors are connected end to end whereas in parallel they are connected in branches.
The correct answer is: Series connection
- In a parallel connection the voltage across each resistor is same and the current is divided inversely to the resistance.
- In series connection the voltage is divided in proportion to the resistance and the current is constant through all.
