Three resistors of resistance 2.0 Ω, 4.0 Ω, and 6.0 Ω are connected in series with an ideal cell.
Which statement is correct?
The current in each resistor is the same but the potential difference across each resistor is different.
The current in each resistor is different but the potential difference across each resistor is the same.
The potential difference across the 2.0 Ω2.0\ \Omega2.0 Ω resistor is three times the potential difference across the 6.0 Ω6.0\ \Omega6.0 Ω resistor.
The potential difference across each of the three resistors is equal to the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the cell.
