Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Resistors of , and are joined in series with an battery. Find (a) the combined resistance, (b) the current, (c) the potential difference across each.
In series, the same current flows through every resistor, the potential differences add up, and
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
