Question

Consider two identical resistor wires, one behind the other, in a series. If there is an electric current in the combination, the current in the second resistor is ____ the current of the first. a) smaller than but not necessarily half b) half C) equal to D) none of the above Consider two identical resistor wires, one behind the other, in a series. If there is an electric current in the combination, the current in the second resistor is ____ the current of the first. a) smaller than but not necessarily half b) half C) equal to D) none of the above a) smaller than but not necessarily half b) half C) equal to D) none of the above

Explanation / Answer

Answer: C. equal to since The total amount of charge is neither lost nor gained when the current passes through the first resistor.
