Q-00004515

Which statement about resistors in parallel is true?

1

The current through each resistor is the same

2

The total resistance is less than the smallest resistance

3

The voltage across each resistor is different

4

They cannot be combined in a circuit

Answer and Solution

Answer

B. The total resistance is less than the smallest resistance

Solution:

In parallel, the total resistance is always less than the smallest resistor's value due to the division of current.
