When two or more diodes are connected in parallel to increase current handling capacity, what is the purpose of the resistor connected in series with each diode?

1. The resistors ensure the thermal stability of the power supply
2. The resistors regulate the power supply output voltage
3. The resistors ensure that one diode doesn't carry most of the current ✓ Correct answer
4. The resistors act as swamping resistors in the circuit
