Question

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in parallel. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Which of the following statements is correct? Choose all that are correct. The potential difference is greater across the resistor closer to the battery. The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. The resistor with the larger resistance carries more current than the other resistor. The potential difference across the larger resistor is greater than the potential difference across the smaller resistor. The potential difference across each resistor is the same.

Answer 1

1) the potential difference is the same for both resistors

2) the larger resistor must carry less current because of (1)

3) the potential difference is the same for both resistors - given (everything depends on this fact)
