If four parallel 10 kΩ resistors are in series with a single 20 kΩ resistor and one of the parallel resistors shorts, the voltage across the other parallel resistors .
A)decreases
B)increases
C)remains the same

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When one of the parallel resistors shorts, the total resistance of the parallel combination decreases, leading to a decrease in the voltage across the remaining parallel resistors.
