When a pair of identical resistors are connected in series, the
a.power
b.current
c.voltage will be the same for each resistor. 1. a and b only 2. a only 3. b only 4. all of these 5. b and c only 6. none of these 7. a and c only 8. c only 0?
In fact, when the two identical resistor are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same, I.
The difference of voltage on each resistor is [tex]\Delta V=RI[/tex] but the two resistors have same resistance R and same current I, so the difference of voltage on them is the same.
Similarly, the power dissipated on each resistance is [tex]P=I^2 R[/tex] And again, the current I is the same for the two resistors, and they have the same resistance R as well, so the power dissipated is the same for the two resistors.
