As shown in figure "A" of the illustration, with the switch closed what statement is true if 'R1' and 'R2' have unequal resistance values? Illustration EL-0019

Correct Answer: Option C — The current flow through 'R1' will differ from the current flow through 'R2'.

In a series circuit, current remains constant throughout, but Ohm's law dictates that unequal resistance values across series components create unequal voltage drops. Current through R1 must equal current through R2 because a series loop provides only one conductive path.
