Question

In a parallel circuit:

Options

• p.d across all resistors is same

• current flowing through all resistors is same

• the equivalent resistance of all resistors is more than any of the individual resistors

• none of the above

Answer 1

P.d across all resistors is same

Explanation:

Each resistor in a parallel circuit is connected across the same two points, so the potential difference across each is the same. The current can differ between branches, and the equivalent resistance is less than any individual resistance.
