Question

question 6 (1 point)
when two or more resistors are connected in parallel to a battery,

the voltage across each resistor is the same.

the total current flowing from the battery equals the sum of the currents flowing through each resistor.

the equivalent resistance of the combination is less than the resistance of any one of the resistors.

all of the given answers

Explanation:

1. For resistors in parallel: The voltage across each resistor is equal to the voltage of the battery, so the voltage across each resistor is the same.
2. The total current in a parallel circuit is the sum of the currents through each branch (resistor), as current divides in parallel.
3. The formula for equivalent resistance (\(R_{eq}\)) in parallel is \(\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\dots+\frac{1}{R_n}\). This results in \(R_{eq}\) being less than the smallest individual resistance.

Since all the first three statements are correct, the last option "all of the given answers" is correct.

Answer:

D. all of the given answers (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with D being "all of the given answers")
