If a 4 ohms resister, a 7 ohms resistor and a 12 ohms resistor are connected in a parallel, which resistor has the most current in it?

Each resistor has the same voltage across it, and Current=(voltage)/(resistance).

The lowest resistance has the highest current through it. That's the 4-ohm unit.
