Question

1. what is true of currents in a series circuit? the current does not travel through all branches in the circuit. currents have to travel through all resistors present. currents are divided throughout different pathways. the current fluctuates throughout the circuit.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow. So, the current has to pass through all the components (like resistors) connected in series. Option 1 is wrong as there are no branches in a series circuit. Option 3 is a characteristic of parallel circuits (where current divides). Option 4 is incorrect as in a steady - state series circuit with a constant voltage source, the current is constant throughout.

Answer:

Currents have to travel through all resistors present.
