Question 11

Resistors of resistance 2.0 Ω, 4.0 Ω and 6.0 Ω are connected in series across the terminals of a cell.

Which statement is correct?

A

The current in the 6.0 Ω6.0\ \Omega6.0 Ω resistor is greater than the current in the other two resistors.

B

The potential difference is the same across all three resistors.

C

The sum of the potential differences across the three resistors is equal to the potential difference across the terminals of the cell.

D

The current in the cell is equal to the sum of the currents in the three resistors.
