|dw:1433786161481:dw| the voltage drop acros each resistor, is the same and it is equals to the voltage of battery

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so choice D?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the current which flows into one resistor is inversely proportional to the resistance of that resistor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so it would be choice D as our solution? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am confused... hahah :P

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

in other words, if the resistance is little then the current is large

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

which is the littlest resistance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R1?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

then, what can you conclude?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that our solution should be choice A?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh yay! thank you!!:D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
