🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm's Law relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) • How voltage divides across resistors in series circuits • Relationship between voltage drop and resistance when current is the same

💭 Think About

• If two resistors are in series, what can you say about the current through each resistor? • If one resistor drops half of the source voltage, what fraction of the voltage must be across the other resistor? • When the same current flows through two resistors, how does the voltage drop across each relate to their resistances?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that in a series circuit, the same current flows through all components • Use Ohm's Law: V = I × R to compare the voltage drops across each resistor with the same current • Check how the ratio of voltage drops relates to the ratio of resistances in series
