Consider a series circuit employing two resistors. What is true about the resistance value of the second resistor compared to the first when the voltage drop across the first resistor is one half the source voltage? |
A) the second resistor has a resistance value that is half of the first |
B) the second resistor has a resistance value equal to that of the first |
C) the second resistor has a resistance value double that of the first |
D) the second resistor has a resistance value relative to that of the first which cannot be determined |
