**Series Resistors and Equivalent Resistance Calculation**Three resistors, 21 Ω, 52 Ω, and 100 Ω, are connected in series, and a 0.50 A current passes through them. **Question:**(a) What is the equivalent resistance?(b) What is the potential difference across this equivalent resistance?**Answer Fields:**(a) [ Number ] [ Units ](b) [ Number ] [ Units ]**Explanation:**When resistors are connected in series, their resistances add up to form the equivalent resistance. The formula is:\[ R_{\text{eq}} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 \]For the potential difference, Ohm's law is used:\[ V = I \times R_{\text{eq}} \]where:- \( V \) is the potential difference,- \( I \) is the current (0.50 A in this case),- \( R_{\text{eq}} \) is the equivalent resistance calculated above.
