Question

When resistors are connected in parallel the current divides in the ___. (1) direct ratio of resistances (2) inverse ratio of resistances (3) inverse ratio of the potential differences (4) none of these

Answer 1

I think (2) inverse ratio of resistance

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.
