Question
- A. State the exact relationship in the objective and apply it only to the stated situation.
- B. Replace the objective with a vague statement that electricity is useful.
- C. Describe a different Physics unit because it sounds more familiar.
- D. Leave out units, component names or circuit conditions from the answer.
Answer
The correct answer is: State the exact relationship in the objective and apply it only to the stated situation.
Explanation
State the exact relationship in the objective and apply it only to the stated situation. That keeps the answer focused on explain qualitatively why adding resistors in parallel decreases total resistance.
Common mistake
Parallel circuits common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain qualitatively why adding resistors in parallel decreases total resistance..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain qualitatively why adding resistors in parallel decreases total resistance..
