Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1TFQ
A series circuit can have more than one path for current.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1TFQ
False.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given statement is:
There is more than one path for the current in case of a series circuit.
Calculation:
A series circuit is the one in which all the elements are connected in series. Therefore, the current in the series circuit is same through all the elements and flows through a unique path.
Therefore, the statement is true.
