Which statement concerning series circuits is NOT true?

A) The sum of the voltage drops equals the source voltage
B) The amount of current [amperes] flowing through the circuit is the same throughout the circuit
C) The voltage drop across each load is different if the resistance of the loads is different
D) The total resistance is equal to the lowest resistance in the circuit

Series Circuits

Electrical circuits in which components are arranged in a sequence such that the current flows through each component one after the other.

Voltage Drops

A reduction in voltage across a component or section of a circuit, indicating resistance or a loss of electrical power.

Resistance

A measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit, affecting how much current flows for a given voltage.

  • Analyze series and parallel circuits, including current flow and voltage drop.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The total resistance is equal to the sum of all the resistances in the circuit, not just the lowest resistance.
