Question:

Which of the following is true about the parallel combination of resistors?

Options:

The potential difference across all the resistors is different.

The total current through the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual currents through each resistor.

The total resistance is the sum of all the individual resistances.

All of the above.

Correct Answer:

The total current through the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual currents through each resistor.

Explanation:

In parallel resistance :

The potential difference across all the resistors is the same.
The total resistance is the sum of reciprocal of all the individual resistances.
