Two resistors are in series, with the second resistor having twice the resistance of the first. When current passes through them, how does the current through the first resistor compare to the current through the second resistor? The first resistor has the same current as the second. The first resistor has four times the current as the second. The first resistor has one-fourth the current as the second. The first resistor has twice the current as the second. The first resistor has half the current as the second.

KVL and KCL
KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.
Sign Convention
Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection and refraction in an easier way.
