Current Electricity

Question:

In a circuit containing two unequal resistors connected in parallel 

Options:

The current is the same in both the resistors

A larger current flows through the larger resistance

The voltage drop across both the resistors is the same 

The smaller resistance has the smaller conductance

Correct Answer:

The voltage drop across both the resistors is the same 

Explanation:

V is same for all the resistors connected in parallel.

$I_1 = I \frac{R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

larger current flow through smaller resistor.
