Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In a Parallel Circuit, all resistors are connected directly across the same electrical source, so the potential difference (voltage) across each resistor remains the same.
According to Ohm's Law:
I = V / R
Since the voltage (V) is the same for all resistors, but the resistances (r₁, r₂, r₃) are different, the current (I) through each resistor will be different.
