If two resistors R1 and R2 (R2 > R1) are connected in series as shown in Fig. Q26.5, which of the following must be true? In each case justify your answer. (a) I1 = I2 = I3. (b) The current is greater in R1 than in R2. (c) The electrical power consumption is the same for both resistors. (d) The electrical power consumption is greater in R2 than in R1. (e) The potential drop is the same across both resistors. (f) The potential at point a is the same as at point c. (g) The potential at point b is lower than at point c. (h) The potential at point c is lower than at point b.
