True of false, physics question please help?

In a circuit, two identical resistances are connected, first in series and then in parallel. The circuit will draw greater current in the first case.True of false, physics question please help?
False.





When two resistors are added in serial, the resistance of the circuit is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors.


Rtotal = R1 + R2





For parallel resistors, the resistance is:


1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2
