The current in each branch of a parallel circuit is proportional to _________(a) The amount of time the circuit is on for(b) Proportional to the value of the resistors(c) Equal in all branches(d) Proportional to the power in the circuitThe question was posed to me in an online quiz.My doubt stems from Parallel Networks in portion Simple DC Networks of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) PROPORTIONAL to the value of the resistors

Explanation: I=V/R. In a parallel CIRCUIT, the VOLTAGE across each RESISTOR is equal, hence the value of the CURRENT is proportional (inversely) to the value of the resistance.
