A 3-ohm resistor and a 6-ohm resistor are

connected in parallel across a 9-volt battery.

Which statement best compares the potential

difference across each resistor?

(1) The potential difference across the 6-ohm

resistor is the same as the potential

difference across the 3-ohm resistor.

(2) The potential difference across the 6-ohm

resistor is twice as great as the potential

difference across the 3-ohm resistor.

(3) The potential difference across the 6-ohm

resistor is half as great as the potential

difference across the 3-ohm resistor.

(4) The potential difference across the 6-ohm

resistor is four times as great as the potential

difference across the 3-ohm resistor.

    (1) The potential difference across the 6-ohm resistor is the same as the potential difference across the 3-ohm resistor. When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference across them.
