Question

Responses

The voltage across the battery will be equal to the sum of the voltages across each resistor.
The voltage across the battery will be equal to the sum of the voltages across each resistor.

The voltage across the battery will be equal to the product of the voltages across each resistor.
The voltage across the battery will be equal to the product of the voltages across each resistor.

The voltage across the battery is the same as what the label on the battery says.
The voltage across the battery is the same as what the label on the battery says.

The current is the same as the voltage.
The current is the same as the voltage.

Answer 1

According to Kirchhoff’s loop rule, the correct response is:

The voltage across the battery will be equal to the sum of the voltages across each resistor.

This is because, in a series circuit, the total voltage provided by the battery is distributed among the resistors, and the sum of the voltages across each individual resistor equals the total voltage of the battery.
