Which one of the following statements is correct for three resistors connected in series? (a) The equivalent resistance is smaller than the smallest resistor. (b) The voltage across each resistor is the same. (c) The same current flows through each resistor. (d) The equivalent resistance is calculated by 1/Req=1R1+1R2+1R31/R_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+\dfrac{1}{R_3}.
