Question

A circuit consists of two unequal resistance connected in parallel. Select the correct statement among the following.

• A. Current is same in both
• B. Current flowing through each will be different
• C. Potential difference across each is same
• D. Smaller resistance has smaller conductance

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

Potential difference across each is same

Two or more resistors are said to be in parallel if the potential difference across each resistors are same.
We have,
V = I R
As the resistance of the resistors are different, current across each will be diffferent in given parallel combination of resistors.
Resistance is inversely proportional to conductance.
