6. Two resistors are connected in series if: At least one lead of each of the resistors is connected directly to a voltage source. The electrical path through one resistor passes through another and does not go through any other electrical junction. Both resistors are connected to the same source. Current flowing through them is the same irrespective of where they are located in the circuit.
