Question

1. resistance in a series circuit is additive and affects the total current flowing in the circuit. which of the following best describes this relationship?

the current is directly proportional to the amount of resistance in a series circuit.

the current is not affected by the overall resistance in a series circuit.

the current is inversely proportional to the resistance in a circuit.

the current flowing in a series circuit is split among the individual resistors in

Explanation:

Identify the relationship using Ohm's law

$$ I = \frac{V}{R_{\text{total}}} $$

Analyze the proportionality

$$ I \propto \frac{1}{R_{\text{total}}} $$

Match with the given options

$$ \text{Current is inversely proportional to resistance.} $$

Answer:

• (A) The current is directly proportional to the amount of resistance in a series circuit.
• (B) The current is not affected by the overall resistance in a series circuit.
• (C) The current is inversely proportional to the resistance in a circuit. (Correct answer)
• (D) The current flowing in a series circuit is split among the individual resistors in
