In a series circuit with three resistors connected to a power source, what would happen to the equivalent resistance and current if you removed any one of the resistors? the equivalent resistance would decrease and the current would increase.

When three resistors are connected in series then total equivalent of all three is given by

Also in this case current is given by

Now if one of the resistance is removed

Then

let one of the resistance is removed

while current flowing in the open circuit will be given by

So here since resistance is decreased then current must be increased in the circuit.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
