Which of the following statements is/are true for a number of resistors connected in parallel combination?
(i) All the resistors are connected between two given points.
(ii) The equivalent resistance of the circuit is more than the individual resistance.
(iii) The potential difference across each resistor is same.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Both (i) and (iii)

Statement (i): All the resistors are connected between two given points. This is true because in a parallel combination, all resistors are connected across the same two points, sharing the same potential difference.

Statement (ii): The equivalent resistance of the circuit is more than the individual resistance. This is false because, in a parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is always less than the smallest individual resistance.

Statement (iii): The potential difference across each resistor is the same. This is true because all resistors in parallel have the same voltage across them, as they are connected across the same two points.

Resistance:
The resistance offered by a conductor to the current flowing through it is called resistance. Its SI unit is ohm.
For a series combination of resistors, the current in each resistor is the same.
The equivalent resistance of a group of resistors in series combination is equal to the algebraic sum of the individual resistances.
