Question
A circuit contains two unequal resistances in parallel.
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
In a parallel circuit, one of the fundamental properties is that the potential difference (voltage) across all parallel branches or components is the same. The current, however, divides, with more current flowing through the path of least resistance. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, so a smaller resistance implies a larger conductance, not smaller.
Hint
Recall the fundamental laws governing voltage and current distribution in parallel circuits.
