In a parallel circuit, the branch with the highest resistance always has the
A) most current
B) least current
C) most power
D) most energy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel circuit, the branch with the highest resistance will have the least current due to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Since the voltage across all branches in a parallel circuit is the same, the branch with the highest resistance will have the lowest current.
