To connect a number of resistors in parallel can be considered equivalent to?

Aincreasing cross sectional area of the conductor

Bdecreasing cross sectional area of the conductor

Cincreasing length of the conductor

Dincreasing resistance of the conductor

Answer:

A. increasing cross sectional area of the conductor

Read Explanation:

Connecting resistors in parallel decreases the total resistance, which is equivalent to increasing the cross-sectional area of the conductor, allowing more current to flow.
