Which of these is true about a series circuit?
A. Lowest resistance contains the most current
B. Lowest resistance contains the highest voltage drop
C. Highest resistance contains the highest voltage drop
D. Highest resistance contains the most current
Ans: C. Highest resistance contains the highest voltage drop
Explanation: According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law: Voltage higher before resistance than after, which is the result of total applied voltage not equal at both ends of a single load circuit. The resistance opposes electron flow which results in voltage loss applied to the load. This loss is voltage drop with the voltage consumed as current travels through resistance. If you have higher resistance, you have higher drop.
