Parallel circuits are circuits when placed in a parallel position. Meaning that for each device, they have their own branch. The voltage that is received in the circuit is equal to the individual devices. The total current is equal to the current of each device. The resistance is the reciprocal of the resistances of each device combined.  

Given:
Device 1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 = 4 ohms
Voltage total = 40V  

Required:
Current at 12 ohms  

Solution:
40V = V1 =V2  

Since V =IR
I1 = V1/R1
I1 = (40V)/(12 ohms)

Answer is b. Thiamine

Vitamins are essential nutrients which are crucial for maintaining optimal health. Vitamin B-complex is a water soluble vitamins which includes thiamine (B1), niacin (B3) riboflavin (B2), folate and iron. These are added during enrichment process of foods like cereal grains and breads, as well as other foods such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish milk, legumes, etc.
