When two lamps are connected in parallel to a battery, the electrical resistance that the battery senses is
A)more than the resistance of either lamp.
B)less than the resistance of either lamp.
C)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two lamps are connected in parallel, the total resistance decreases. This is because the current can flow through both lamps simultaneously, so there is less opposition to the flow of electrons. Thus, the electrical resistance that the battery senses is less than the resistance of either lamp.
