Two resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel. If R1 > R2, which of the following is true for the current (I1 and I2) flowing through them?
AI1 > I2
BI1 < I2
CI1 = I2
DI1 + I2 = 0
✓ Correct Answer: B — I1 < I2
In parallel, current is inversely proportional to resistance (I = V/R). Larger resistance R1 has smaller current I1.
