If two resistors, R1 and R2, are connected in parallel, and R1 is greater than R2, which of the following statements is true?
The current is the same in both.
The voltage is the same across both.
R1 has a lower current than R2.
R1 dissipates less power than R2.
Explication
The voltage is the same in each branch of the parallel circuit.
