5. Which statement is truer (a) Current and voltage are the same everywhere in a series crreum. (b) Current and voltage are the same everywhere in a parallel circuit. (c) Current is constant in a parallel circuit.and voltage is constant across all loads in a series circuit. (d) Current is constant in a parawel circuit.and voltage is constant across all loads in a circuit. seruss use

The correct answer is (d). Let's break down why:<br /><br />* **(a) Current and voltage are the same everywhere in a series circuit.** False. Current is the same everywhere in a series circuit, but voltage drops across each component.<br /><br />* **(b) Current and voltage are the same everywhere in a parallel circuit.** False. Voltage is the same across each branch of a parallel circuit, but current splits between the branches.<br /><br />* **(c) Current is constant in a parallel circuit, and voltage is constant across all loads in a series circuit.** False. While voltage *is* constant across all loads in a parallel circuit, current is *not* constant throughout the entire parallel circuit. It splits at each branch. Similarly, current is constant in a series circuit, but voltage is *not* constant across all loads.<br /><br />* **(d) Current is constant in a series circuit, and voltage is constant across all loads in a parallel circuit.** True. This accurately describes the behavior of current and voltage in series and parallel circuits.<br />
