(2.1.1.2-2) Which of the following statements is correct for the illustrated circuit in figure "B"? Illustration EL-0020

Correct Answer: Option A — 'R1', 'R2', and 'R3' are connected in series.

In a series circuit configuration, current flows sequentially through each single path. Total resistance equals the direct mathematical sum of individual resistances, and voltage drops distribute across each resistor proportional to its ohmic value.
