Explain why the equivalent resistance of a parallel combination
of resistors is always less than the smallest of the parallel
resistors.
A) Adding resistors in parallel gives the current a shorter
path through which it can flow hence decreases the overall
resistance.
B) Adding resistors in parallel gives the current another
path through which it can flow hence decreases the overall
resistance.
C) Adding resistors in parallel reduce the number of paths
through which the current can flow hence decreases the overall
resistance.
D) Adding resistors in parallel gives the current longer
path through which it can flow hence decreases the overall
resistance.
