As more resistors are added in parallel across a constant voltage source with no internal resistance, the power supplied by the source: doesn't change increases decreases

Step 1
This is because the equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel is given by the formula: 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... So, as more resistors are added in parallel, the value of 1/Req increases, which means that Req decreases. Now, let's consider the power Show more…

As additional resistors are connected in parallel to a source of constant voltage, the current in the circuit (A) decreases (B) increases (C) remains the same
Adding resistors in series changes the total resistance of a circuit by O increasing the resistance O decreasing the resistance o it does not affect the resistance o decreasing the resistance if the value of the resistor added is less than the greatest resistor in the circuit
