In a series circuit, voltage drop readings show that:

• A. They share the supplied voltage.
• B. Each load gets the same voltage.
• C. Only the first load gets voltage.
• D. No voltage across the loads.

Answer: (A)

In a series circuit, the same current flows through every component, and the total supply voltage is divided among the loads. The voltage drop across each load depends on its resistance, and the sum of all these drops equals the source voltage. So the readings show that the loads collectively share the supplied voltage.

They don’t always get the same voltage unless their resistances are equal, which is a special case. The idea that only the first load gets voltage isn’t correct because every component in a series loop experiences a voltage drop. And there is voltage across the loads, not zero voltage.
