When two or more resistors are connected in parallel to a battery
A) the total current flowing from the battery equals the sum of the currents flowing through each resistor.
B) the equivalent resistance of the combination is less than the resistance of any one of the resistors.
C) the voltage across each resistor is the same.
D) all of the other choices are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel circuit, the total current is indeed the sum of the currents through each resistor (A), the equivalent resistance is less than any individual resistor's resistance (B), and the voltage across each resistor is the same (C), making all these statements true.
