For a series DC circuit, which of the following does NOT hold true?

• A. When a number of electrical components are connected in series, the same current flows through all the components of the circuit.
• B. The applied voltage across a series circuit is equal to the sum total of voltage drops across each component.
• C. The voltage drop across individual components is directly proportional to its resistance value.
• D. Total circuit current is the arithmetic sum of the currents passing through individual components connected in parallel.
