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? :/

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?
