Three resistors are joined one after another in a single loop with a cell. How does the current in the second resistor compare with the current in the first?

1. Resistors joined one after another in a single loop form a series circuit. 2. In a series circuit there is only one path along which charge can flow. 3. The amount of current is therefore the same through any component in the circuit. 4. It is the voltage, not the current, that divides itself among series resistors. _Source: Siyavula Physical Sciences Grade 11 (Everything Science, CC BY 4.0), Chapter 11: Electric circuits_
