Answer

Yes, I am sure.

The 20 Ω20 \, \Omega resistor and the 30 Ω30 \, \Omega resistor are connected in parallel.

Here's why:

  • Current flows from the 10 Ω10 \, \Omega resistor and reaches a junction (point X).
  • At this junction, the current splits, with one part flowing through the 20 Ω20 \, \Omega resistor and the other part flowing through the 30 Ω30 \, \Omega resistor.
  • These two currents then recombine at another junction (point Y) before continuing through the rest of the circuit.
  • This splitting and recombining of current, where the components share the same voltage across them, is the defining characteristic of a parallel connection.
