Question

A circuit contains two unequal resistances in parallel
Options
A currents same in both resistors
B larger current flows in larger resistor
C potential difference across each is same
Correct Answer
D smaller resistance has smaller conductance
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For components connected in parallel, the potential difference (voltage) across each component is the same. The current will divide such that a larger current flows through the smaller resistance (I = V/R), and conductance is G = 1/R, so smaller resistance means larger conductance.

Hint

Recall the fundamental properties of components connected in a parallel circuit.
