Question 36
H

Two identical fixed resistors are connected in series across a constant supply. A third identical resistor is added in series. How do the current and the voltage across each original resistor change?

[1]
A

Both become 32\frac{3}{2}23​ of their original values

B

Current becomes 23\frac{2}{3}32​; voltage remains unchanged

C

Current remains unchanged; voltage becomes 23\frac{2}{3}32​

D

Both become 23\frac{2}{3}32​ of their original values
