The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements provided regarding series and parallel connections of electrical elements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Series Connection:** - In a series connection, components are connected end-to-end, so there is only one path for the current to flow. - **Statement (i):** "In series connection of two elements, the same current flows through each element." - This statement is **true** because, in a series circuit, the current that flows through the first element must also flow through the second element, as there are no alternative paths. 2. **Understanding Parallel Connection:** - In a parallel connection, components are connected across the same two points, creating multiple paths for the current to flow. - **Statement (ii):** "In parallel connection of two elements, the same potential difference gets applied across each element." - This statement is also **true** because, in a parallel circuit, each component is connected directly to the voltage source, meaning they all experience the same voltage. 3. **Conclusion:** - Both statements (i) and (ii) are correct based on the principles of series and parallel circuits. ### Final Answer: - (i) True: In series connection of two elements, the same current flows through each element. - (ii) True: In parallel connection of two elements, the same potential difference gets applied across each element.
