Question 95

A 3.0 Ω resistor is connected in parallel with a 9.0 Ω resistor.

There is a constant potential difference across the parallel combination.

Which statement about the two resistors is correct?

A

The current is greater in the 3.0 Ω3.0\ \Omega3.0 Ω resistor.

B

The current is greater in the 9.0 Ω9.0\ \Omega9.0 Ω resistor.

C

The potential difference (p.d.) is greater across the 3.0 Ω3.0\ \Omega3.0 Ω resistor.

D

The potential difference (p.d.) is greater across the 9.0 Ω9.0\ \Omega9.0 Ω resistor.
