Two lamps,a thick-filament one and a thin-filament one,are connected in parallel to a battery.The current is greater in the lamp with the
A)thick filament.
B)thin filament.
C)same in each

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In parallel circuits, the voltage across each component is the same, but the current through each component depends on its resistance. The lamp with the thick filament has lower resistance, therefore it allows more current to flow through it compared to the lamp with the thin filament.
