I'm hoping someone has access to the questions because theres a figure. the question states:
if one of the resistors is removed what would happen to the current through the remaining resistor?
The diagram shows a circuit of 4V and two resistors lined in parallel. I said answer C, the current through the remaining resistor would decrease by a factor of 2. but the correct answer is B, the current through the remaining resistor would remain the same. why is this the case?
doing the math if resistors are in parallel then 1/RT=1/2+1/2 which would make RT=1, therefore current being 4amps
if you removed a resistor with voltage being the same, should the current decrease to 2amps?
