Question

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in parallel. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Which of the following statements is correct? Choose all that are correct.

(a) The resistor with the larger resistance carries more current than the other resistor

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor.

(c) The potential difference across each resistor is the same.

(d) The potential difference across the larger resistor is greater than the potential difference across the smaller resistor.

(e) The potential difference is greater across the resistor closer to the battery.
