If two or more resistors are joined to each other side by side, this combination is called:
Correct answer: B. Parallel combination of resistors
- A. Series combination of resistors
- B. Parallel combination of resistors
- C. Y delta combination of resistors
- D. None of the above
Explanation
When two or more resistors are joined side by side, this combination is called "parallel." In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each resistor.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
