Study the circuit shown in which three identical bulbs `B_1, B_2 and B_3` are connected in parallel with a battery of 4.5 V. Answer any four questions given below:

When are the resistances said to be in parallel combination?

Options

A. When two or more resistances are connected end to end so that same current flows through each one of them in turn.
B. When two or more resistances are connected across two points so that each one of them provides a separate path for current
C. When only one resistance is present in the circuit
D. When no current is flowing through the circuit.

Answer

B
