    The wording of the choices is really unclear. With two resistors in parallel,

    here's the situation:

    - - The voltage across each resistor is the same as the voltage across

    the other one. If the parallel combination is connected to the battery,

    then the voltage across each resistor is the full battery voltage.

    - - The current through each resistor is (V) / (the resistance of that resistor).

    That's the same current as would flow through that resistor if the other one

    were not there.

    - - As long as the battery or other power supply holds out, neither of these

    quantities changes.

    Can you match this situation to one of the choices listed?

    It looks to me as if choice 'C' is the one that's most likely

    trying to say this.
