As resistors are added in series to a circuit, the total resistance will

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

As the resistance of a resistor in series increases, the measured voltage across that resistor will

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

The current through each resistor connected in series

• will add up to the total current
• is the same everywhere
  

This is an example of a _______ circuit

• open
• series
• parallel
• square

In a parallel circuit, if one connection is broken, all of the connections stop working.

• True
• False
