Resistors of 10 ohms, 20 ohms, and 30 ohms are connected in series with a battery. The 10 ohm resistor is closest to the positive terminal and the 30 ohm resistor is closest to the negative terminal. What happens as the current flows through this circuit? (second time asking answer was not C) A. A little current is consumed in the 10 ohm resistor, more in the 20 ohm, and the most in the 30 ohm. B. None of the resistors consume current. C. The resistors each consume the same amount of current. D. The most current is consumed in the 10 ohm resistor, less in the 20 ohm resistor, and the least in the 30 ohm.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
