Chapter 6, Problem 1TFQ

Parallel resistors are always connected between the same pair of nodes.

To determine

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1TFQ

True.

Explanation of Solution

Parallel resistors have same voltage across them. Such circuits are current divider circuits. This mean parallel resistive circuits have more than one current path connected to a common voltage source.

Therefore, parallel resistors are always connected between the same pair of nodes.

An example of parallel resistive circuit is shown as below. Here total current $I_T$ is divided into three currents $I_1,I_2,\text{ and }{I}_3$ . All resistance is connected between same pair of nodes $A\text{ and }B$ .

  

Thus, parallel resistance are always connected between same pair of nodes.

Conclusion:

Given statement is true.
