When a battery is connected across series connection of two unequal resistances.

A

current passing through both the resistances would be equal.

B

p.ct. across both the resistances would be equal.

C

current through bigger resistance would be less.

D

p.d. across smaller resistance would be more.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

current passing through both the resistances would be equal.
It is the speciality of series connection of resistors, obtained from law of conservation of electric charge.
