Answer:
C. the voltage drops across both resistor is the same
Explanation:
when two resistors are connected in parallel, we know that current is split across each connection but voltage is same throughout.
ohms law states V=IR
where V is voltage, I is current, R is resistance
I=V/R
I is indirectly proportional to R and V is same.
so, when R is high, I has to be low.
we also know in a parallel circuit, current is not the same, because they are of unequal resistances.
V=I1R1=I2R2
when R1 and R2 are different, I1 and I2 should also be different so that their product is V.
hope it's helpful
