38Three resistors, each with resistance R1 , are in
series in a circuit. They are replaced by one
equivalent resistor, R. Comparing this resistor
to the first resistor of the previous circuit,
- the current through R equals the current through
R1 - the voltage across R equals the voltage across R1
- the power given off by R equals the power given
off by R1 - R is smaller than R1
