  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a series circuit, the total resistance is:

    • A) the sum of all individual resistances
    • B) equal to the largest resistance
    • C) less than the smallest resistance
    • D) the product of all resistances

    Answer: the sum of all individual resistances

    Explanation: In a series circuit, current flows through each resistor sequentially, so the same current experiences each resistance in turn; the total opposition equals the arithmetic sum of all individual resistances: R_total = R₁ + R₂ + … + Rₙ.
