Power Consumption of Parallel #8211; Same potential difference appeared across each resistance but current distributes in the reverse ratio of their resistance, i.e. I ∝ 1/R. Power consumed are in the reverse ratio of resistance , i.e. P ∝ 1/R ⇒ P<sub>1</sub> : P<sub>2</sub> : P<sub>3</sub> : = 1/R<sub>1</sub> : 1/R<sub>2</sub> : 1/R<sub>3</sub>
