Problem 36P
CE A circuit consists of three resistors, R123, connected in series to a battery. Rank these resistors in order of increasing
(a) current through them and
(b) potential difference across them. Indicate ties where appropriate.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
(a)
Three resistors with resistance which are connected in series along with a battery. Here we need to rank the resistors in order of increasing current through them.
Since the current through single loop is same throughout, the current through each resistor in the given case is same.
That is,
Therefore, the order of increasing current through them is .
