84. If three resistors of unequal resistance are connected in parallel, what will be true and the voltage drop across each resistor and current passing through each resistor?   
A. equal voltage drop and current

Resistors placed in parallel must have equal voltage drops.

                                      V
Since V = IR  =>  I = ------
                                      R

   
Unequal resistors will have unequal current.

The Correct Answer is B.

B. equal voltage drop and unequal current
C. unequal voltage drop and equal current
D. unequal voltage drop and current
