A circuit is composed of resistors wired in series. What is the relationship between the equivalent resistance of the circuit and the resistance of the individual resistors?
The equivalent resistance is equal to the largest resistance in the circuit.
The equivalent resistance is greater than the sum of all the resistances in the circuit.
The equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
The equivalent resistance is less than the smallest resistance in the circuit.

the third one is correct.
Equivalent Resistance of series resistors is found by summing the resistance of each of the resistors. R(equiv) = R1+R2+R3+...
Resistors in Parallel is the sum of the inverses:
1/R(equiv) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...
Capacitors act in the opposite manner.
