Aliyah Chapman · Answer 1

In a series circuit, the current that passes through both resistors is equal. What determines the power in that element would be the value of the resistance. In terms of current and resistance, power would be equal to the square of current multiplied by the resistance. So having a higher value of resistance would result in higher power.
