Question

when resistors are connected in parallel the current divides in _________ . a) direct ratio of resistances b) inverae ratio of resistances c) inverse ratio of potential difference d) none of these

Answer 1

direct ratio of resistances (a)

Answer 2

Hey there,

Statement: when resistors are connected in parallel the current divides in _________

Answer: b) inverse ratio of resistances

Explanation: The formula for a parallel resistor is 1/R₁+1/R₂....  which means that that the resistance is clearly inversely proportional. In this circuit, the resistors are placed on above the other in a parallel position and therefore the current that is being passed through them is going to be inversely proportional.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.
