Question

A circuit consists of a power supply and two resistors R1 and R2 connected in parallel.

The resistance of R1 is higher than the resistance of R2 (R1 > R2)

Which of the following is correct?

Select one:

a. The current through R1 is the same as the current through R2 (I1 = I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is the same as the voltage across R2 (V1 = V2 ?)

b. The current through R1 is the same as the current through R2 (I1 = I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is smaller than the voltage across R2 (V1 < V2 ?)

c. The current through R1 is greater than the current through R2 (I1 > I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is also greater than the voltage across R2 (V1 > V2 ?)

d. The current through R1 is greater than the current through R2 (I1 > I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is the same as the voltage across R2   (V1 = V2 ?)

e. The current through R1 is smaller than the current through R2 (I1 < I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is also smaller than the voltage across R2 (V1 < V2 ?)

f. The current through R1 is the same as the current through R2 (I1 = I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is greater than the voltage across R2   (V1 > V2 ?)

g. The current through R1 is smaller than the current through R2 (I1 < I2 ?)
The voltage across R1 is the same as the voltage across R2 (V1 = V2 ?)
