Question

When two unequal resistors are connected in parallel in a circuit *

(a) the current is same in both the resistors

(b) a larger current flows through the larger resistor

(c) the voltage drops across both the resistors is same

(d) all of the above

​

Answer 1

Answer:

In parallel connection, all the elements are connected between same two points hence the voltage drop across any number of resistors or other elements connected in parallel is same. Hence C is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) the voltage drops across both the resistors is same.

Explanation:

Let us consider resistors r and R (R > r) are connected in parallel to a battery of voltage V.

Now as we know in a parallel combination the current gets divided at the junction before passing through the resistors, and also we know that the current gets divided in such a manner that is inversely proportional to the resistors. i.e. current flow in resistor R is less than the current flow in resistor r.

And as we know in a parallel combination the voltage drop across the resistors is always same. i.e. voltage V will be maintained across the resistor R and also the same voltage V will be maintained across resistor r.

Therefore, (c) the voltage drops across both the resistors is same.
