Answer

In series combination of resistor, the current through both the resistor are same but potential difference across each will be different. In parallel combination current across each resistor will be different but the potential difference will be same.

The correct option is B.

Answer: (b) same current flowing through them when connected in series

In series, the combination current does not get divided into branches because the resistor receives a common current.

Resistors in series

A circuit is said to be connected in series when the same amount of current flows through the resistors. In such circuits, the voltage across each resistor is different. In a series connection, if any resistor is broken or a fault occurs, then the entire circuit is turned off.
