Why does the resistors when connected in  parallel increase the current?They should stop the current because they are the resistors.

answered-by-expert Expert Answer
When resistors are connected in parallel, the net resistance through the circuit decreases.
Decrease in resistance causes more current to flow through the circuit in accordance with Ohm's laaw I = V/R. Hence, resistors connected in parallel increase the current in the circuit.
