In a series circuit, if one resistor is removed or breaks, what happens to the entire circuit?

• The circuit continues to work, but with less current.
• The circuit stops working completely.
• The current increases in the remaining resistors.
• The voltage across the remaining resistors increases.

In a parallel circuit, if one resistor is removed or breaks, the other branches of the circuit will continue to function.

What is the total resistance in a series circuit with resistors of 5 ohms and 10 ohms?

• 15 ohms

Which type of circuit arrangement generally results in a lower total resistance compared to the individual resistances?

• Series circuit
• Parallel circuit
• Both series and parallel circuits
• Neither circuit type
