(N/A) $(i)$ The circuit diagram showing two resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$ connected in series is provided in the image.
$(ii)$ When resistors are connected in series,the same amount of electric current $(I)$ flows through each resistor. Therefore,the current passing through the $5 \ \Omega$ resistor is equal to the current passing through the $10 \ \Omega$ resistor.
