alleryStart learning →Resistors connected one after the other in the same branch of a circuit are said to be connected how?
AConnected in parallel
BIn a steady state
CConnected to ground
DConnected in series
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Connected in series
1. Resistors connected one after the other in the same branch of a circuit are described this way.
2. This specific wiring pattern is given a name.
3. That name is 'in series'.
