For ensuring dissipation of same energy in all t h r e e resistors (R₁, R₂, R₃ ) connected as shown in figure, their values must be related as
Options
- AR₁=R₂=R₃
- BR₂=R₃ and R₁=4 R₂
- CR₂=R₃ and R₁=1 / 4 R₂
- DR₁=R₂+R₃ .
Correct answer
C. R₂=R₃ and R₁=1 / 4 R₂
Step-by-step solution
As the voltage in R₂ and R₃ is same therefore, according to, H= V^2 R t, R₂=R₃ Also the energy in all resistance is same. i^2 R₁ t=i₁^2 R₂ t U sing h ₁= R₃ R₂+R₃ i= R₃ R₃+R₃ i= 1 2 i Thus i^2 R₁ t= i^2 4 R₂ t or, R₁= R₂ 4 .
