Question

Which one of the following statements concerning resistors in "parallel" is true? Question 7 options: The voltage across each resistor is the same. The current through each resistor is the same. The total current through the resistors is the sum of the current through each resistor. The power dissipated by each resistor is the same.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct statement is:

--> The voltage across each resistor is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

RESISTORS are defined as the components of an electric circuit which are capable of creating resistance to the file of electric current in the circuit. They work by converting electrical energy into heat, which is dissipated into the air. These resistors can be divided into two according to their arrangements in the electric cell. It include:

--> Resistors in parallel and

--> Resistors in series

RESISTORS are said to be in parallel when two or more resistance or conductors are connected to common terminals so that the potential difference ( voltage) across each conductor IS THE SAME but with different current flow through each of them. Also, Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.
