Problem

Two resistors of

4\,\Omega

and

12\,\Omega

are connected in parallel across the same battery. Which statement about the currents

I_4

(through

4\,\Omega

) and

I_{12}

(through

12\,\Omega

) is correct? a)

I_4 = I_{12}

I_{12} \text{ is three times } I_4

I_4 \text{ is three times } I_{12}

I_4 \text{ is one–third of } I_{12}
