As shown in figure "A" of the illustration, with the switch closed what statement is true if 'R1' and 'R2' have unequal resistance values? EL-0019

Correct Answer: Option D — The current flow through 'R1' will differ from the current flow through 'R2'.

In a parallel circuit with uniform voltage across unequal resistances, branch current is inversely proportional to resistance ($I = V/R$). Unequal resistor values inherently result in differing current flows through each individual parallel branch.
