michele_laino · Answer

hint:
resistors are in parallel when the same voltage is applied across each of them

shamim · Answer

Do u hv any idea abt parallel connection of resistors

shamim · Answer

Nd series connection of resistors

mrnood · Answer

Also note:

It asks for the current through EACH resistor

This will be the SAME current as if the resitor was connected to 12V on its own......
