Three resistors 5Ω, 7Ω and 8Ω are connected in series to a battery. Which statement about the current and potential differences in the circuit is correct?
(a) The current divides inversely with resistance, and the same potential difference appears across each resistor.
(b) The resistor with the smallest resistance gets the largest potential difference, while the current through all resistors is identical.
(c) The current is the same through each resistor, and the sum of potential differences across them equals the battery voltage.
(d) Both the current and the potential difference are different for every resistor in the circuit.
