When unequal resistors are connected in parallel in a circuit,
A)there is always the same current through each resistor.
B)the potential drop is always the same across each resistor.
C)the largest resistance has the largest current through it.
D)the power generated in each resistor is the same.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component is the same, regardless of the resistance of each component. This is because all components are directly connected across the power supply.
