_{True or False:- Ohms Law states:}

_{The current flowing in an electrical circuit is DIRECTIONALLY PROPORTIONAL to the voltage applied to the circuit and,}

_{at a CONSTANT TEMPERATURE}

• True

• False

The total resistance of a series circuit can be calculated by adding each resistance together.

• True

• False

If all the resistances (loads) in a series circuit are equal they will each have an equal share of the total supply current.
