Solution

When resistors are connected in series, they divide the voltage proportionally among all the resistors. This is due to Ohm's law, which states that the voltage across a resistor is equal to the current through it times its resistance. Therefore, if you have multiple resistors in series, the total voltage across them is divided among the resistors in proportion to their resistances. The other options are incorrect. Connecting resistors in series does not reduce the power to zero, does not divide the current (the current is the same through all resistors in a series circuit), and does not increase the source voltage.
