Which of the following statements are true about a series circuit? List all that apply. Series circuits are characterized by the fact that there is a single pathway by which charge can travel from the + terminal to the - terminal. During any single loop of charge around a series circuit, the charge will pass through each resistor in the circuit. The overall resistance of a circuit increases as more and more resistors are placed in series in the circuit. The total current in a circuit increases as more and more resistors are placed in series in the circuit. Suppose that three identical resistors with a resistance of 3-ohms are placed in series with a 12-Volt battery. The current in the circuit is 4 Amps. Suppose that three identical resistors with a resistance of 3-ohms are placed in series with a 12-Volt battery. The electric potential difference across each resistor is 12 Volts. Suppose that two identical resistors are placed in series with a 12-Volt battery. The current in the…
