Some important points regarding series combination of resistors are
as follows:
The equivalent resistance is equal The equivalent resistance is thus
greater than the resistance of either
to the sum of the individual resistor. This is also known as
resistances.

The current through each resistor The potential difference across each
is same. resistor is different.
