Question

The current flowing through each resistor is same when connected in parallel.a.Trueb.False

🧐 Not the exact question you are looking for?Go ask a question

Solution

The statement is false.

When resistors are connected in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same, but the current through each resistor can be different. The current through each resistor in a parallel circuit depends on the resistance of that resistor.

According to Ohm's law, I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance. So, if the resistances are different, the currents will also be different.

So, the correct answer is b. False.
