Given a series circuit containing resistors of different values, which statement is not true?
A) The total resistance is the sum of the value of the resistors.
B) The current through each resistor is the same.
C) The voltage drop across each resistor is the same.
D) The sum of the voltage drops across each resistive element will be equal to the voltage source.

In a series circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor is not the same; it varies depending on the resistance value. The voltage drop is determined by Ohm's Law (V=IR), so resistors with different resistances will have different voltage drops when the same current flows through them.
