Two unequal resistances are connected parallel across a battery. Which of the following statements is true?

Explanation

Option A: The current cannot be the same through both resistances, because the resistances are different. Option B: The current through the smaller resistance is higher. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same, but the current through each resistor is different. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so the current through the smaller resistance will be higher than the current through the larger resistance. Option C: The current cannot be the same through both resistances, because the resistances are different. Option D: The current cannot be higher through the larger resistance, because the current is inversely proportional to the resistance. The current cannot be higher in any resistance depending on the emf of the cell, because the emf of the cell only determines the voltage across the resistors, not the current through the resistors.
