Question

    Answer:

    b) the potential difference across each is the same.

    Explanation:

    When resistors are connected in parallel with each other

    then the terminals of all the resistors will connected across the terminals of the battery

    So we know the potential difference of the battery is same across all the resistors

    So we can say that the equivalent resistance of all the resistance is

    \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}

    so its not the mean of all resistors

    also we know that the resistance are all different so power across each resistance is different given as

    P = \frac{V^2}{R}

    also current in each resistance is also different and given by

    i = \frac{V}{R}

    so correct answer will be

    b) the potential difference across each is the same.
