  1. Question 1

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

    • A) Sum of all individual resistances
    • B) Product of all individual resistances
    • C) Reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals
    • D) Average of all individual resistances

    Answer: Sum of all individual resistances

    Explanation: In a series circuit, current flows through each resistor in turn with no branching paths, so the total resistance is simply the arithmetic sum of all individual resistances: R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + ….
