Chapter 19 Problem 5MCQ

Question

Which resistor shown in Fig. 19-43 has the greatest current going through it? Assume that all the resistors are equal.

(a) \(R_{1}\).

(b) \(R_{1} \text { and } R_{2}\).

(c) \(R_{3} \text { and } R_{4}\).

(d) \(R_{5}\).

(e) All of them the same.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 19 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Which resistor shown in Fig. 19-43 has the greatest current going through it? Assume that all the resistors are equal.(a) \(R_{1}\).(b) \(R_{1} \text { and } R_{2}\).(c) \(R_{3} \text { and } R_{4}\).(d) \(R_{5}\).(e) All of them the same.
From the textbook chapter DC Circuits you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
