Question

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

• A. increasing cross sectional area of the conductor
• B. decreasing cross sectional area of the conductor
• C. increasing length of the conductor
• D. increasing resistance of the conductor

Answer 1

Answer:

A. increasing cross sectional area of the conductor

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.
