In which of the following combinations is the current maximum? Answer: Parallel

In a parallel combination of resistors across a constant voltage source, the total equivalent resistance is always less than the smallest individual resistance in the circuit. According to Ohm's law (V=IR), current (I) is inversely proportional to resistance (R) for a constant voltage (V). Therefore, lower total resistance results in a higher total current.
