Which of the given statements would test the validity of Kirchhoff's loop rule when a circuit has a battery

Question

and two resistors connected in parallel?
(1 point)
answers below:
Use a multimeter to test that the current is the same as the voltage.

Use a multimeter to test the voltage across the battery and see if it is equal to the product of the voltages
across each resistor.

Use a multimeter to test the voltage across the battery and see if it is equal to the sum of the voltages
across each resistor.

Use a multimeter to test whether the voltage across the battery is equal to the voltage across the first
resistor and equal to the voltage across the second resistor.

Answer 1

To test the validity of Kirchhoff's loop rule in a circuit with a battery and two resistors connected in parallel, the correct statement would be:

Use a multimeter to test whether the voltage across the battery is equal to the voltage across the first resistor and equal to the voltage across the second resistor.

This is because Kirchhoff's loop rule states that the sum of the potential differences (voltage) around any closed loop in a circuit must equal zero. In the case of parallel resistors, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the voltage of the battery.
