The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Which of the following statements are correct?

a. The potential difference across each resistor is the same.
b. The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor.
c. The current in each resistor is the same.
d. The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal.
e. The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor.

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
