Three resistances ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 4 ) are connected in parallel. The ratio of currents passing through them when a potential difference is applied across its ends will be
Options
- A( 6: 3: 2 )
- B( 6: 4: 3 )
- C( 5: 4: 3 )
- D( 4: 3: 2 )
Correct answer
B. ( 6: 4: 3 )
Step-by-step solution
According to Ohm's law, we have ( V= R ). Since the resistors are connected in parallel, therefore, ( V ) is constant. So, [ array l I R= constant I 1 R I₁ 1 2 , I₂ 1 3 ^ I₃ 1 4 I₁: I₂: I₃=6: 4: 3 array ]
