In a circuit, two resistors of resistances `5 Omega and 10 Omega` are connected in series. Compare the current passing through the two resistors.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In a series combination of resistors, the same current passes through all the resistors and it is same as the total current of the circuit.
Hence, here current will be the same in two resistors.
So, the ratio of the current will be 1: 1.
