For the parallel circuit in the previous part (with the switch closed), the current through the 20-ω resistor is the current through 10-ω resistor. g

Less than

For the parallel circuit in the previous part (with the switch closed), the current through the 20-ω resistor is less than the current through 10-ω resistor.

According to Ohm's Law, the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference at constant pressure and temperature.

Therefore; V α I

Mathematically;  V = IR ; Where R is the resistance of a device or a conductor.

From the relationship; I = V/R ; which means current and resistance have inverse relationship such that an increase in resistance causes a decrease in electric current.

Therefore; the current through the 20-ω resistor is less than the current through 10-ω resistor.

i don't understand. explain it clearly
