In a parallel circuit, the current flow through each load resistor:
(a) varies according to the resistance value of the resistor.
(b) is exactly the same value.
(c) is greater for resistors with low resistance values.
(d) is greater for resistors with high resistance values.

In a series circuit, the amount of voltage each load receives is:

(a)inversely proportional to the resistance value of the load.

(b)the same as the applied voltage.

(c)determined by its position in the series string.

(d)directly proportional to the resistance value of the load.

Which of the following is incorrect?

(a)The total resistance of a parallel circuit is always lower than its lowest branch resistance.

(b)The total resistance of a parallel circuit is inversely proportional to the total current.

(c)The total resistance of a parallel circuit is directly proportional to the total current.

(d)The total resistance of a parallel circuit is always higher than its lowest branch resistance.
