Electric circuits — practice question

A cell is connected in parallel to resistors of $1.0\,\Omega$, $2.0\,\Omega$ and $3.0\,\Omega$. Which statement is correct?

  • AThe current in each resistor is different but the potential difference (p.d.) across each resistor is the same.
  • BThe current in each resistor is the same but the potential difference across each resistor is different.
  • CThe potential difference across the $3.0\,\Omega$ resistor is greater than the potential difference across the $1.0\,\Omega$ resistor.
  • DThe sum of the potential differences across each resistor is equal to the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the cell.
