Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it.
The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor.
As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.

What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
The supply voltage in a parallel circuit remains the same regardless of the number of additional resistors connected. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same as the supply voltage. Adding more resistors in parallel will increase the total current drawn from the supply.
How does the concept of parallel resistors connected to the same voltage source affect the overall resistance in a circuit?
When resistors are connected in parallel to the same voltage source, the overall resistance in the circuit decreases. This is because the current has multiple paths to flow through, reducing the total resistance that the current encounters.
If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?
If additional resistance is connected in parallel with a circuit the supply voltage will decrease?
In a parallel circuit a parallel branch is usually called which current or resistance or voltage path?
A parallel branch is a current path. In general, current follows paths, voltage drops across components, and resistance is the voltage divided by current of specific circuit elements.
When a resistor is connected in parallel what happens to the size of current form the battery?
When a resistor is added the current goes down, that is expressed in the equation current= voltage/ resistance
What are the differences between resistors connected in parallel and resistors connected in series, and how do these configurations affect the overall resistance in a circuit?
Resistors connected in parallel have the same voltage across them, while resistors connected in series have the same current passing through them. In a parallel configuration, the total resistance decreases as more resistors are added, while in a series configuration, the total resistance increases.
Three equal resistors connected in series across a voltage source dissipate a power of 10W what sould be the power desipated if same resistors are connected in parallel?
If three equal resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance will be one-third of the resistance in series. This lower resistance will result in a higher current flowing through the resistors when connected in parallel compared to when they are in series. Therefore, the power dissipated by the resistors in parallel will be greater than 10W.
Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?
a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.
How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?
The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.
What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?
-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)
Which of the coil of the wattmeter has high resistance?
The voltage (or 'potential') coil has the higher resistance, because it is connected in parallel with the load.
What will have the least amount of current flow in a branch parallel circuit?
The branch with the highest resistance in a parallel circuit will have the least current flow. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by Resistance
