Question

A simple circuit contains an ideal battery and a resistance R. If a second resistor is placed in parallel with the first :

• A. the potential across R will decrease
• B. the current through R will decreased
• C. the current delivered by the battery will increase
• D. the power dissipated by R will increased.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the current delivered by the battery will increase

In parallel circuit voltage is same while the current increases in the circuit on placing a resistor in parallel.
