Mhmmm so we have resistors in series
Now remind me
Is voltage or current the same when we have resistors in series

@jennylove
jennylove:
its okay, what do you think about that i found? @TheSmartOne
TheSmartOne:
You're correct! V = IR
Voltage is constant so the one with the lowest resistance would have the highest current flowing through it

wouldnt it make the first question i posted different?
jennylove:
if so
TheSmartOne:
In this post?
No because the last question is parallel resistors, and the first one here is resistors in series
jennylove:
i keep forgetting that! im so sorry theres a difference
