Three resistors having resistances r 1 ,   r 2 and r 3 are connected as shown in the given circuit. The ratio i 3 i 1 of currents in terms of resistances used in the circuit is :
Options
- Ar 1 r 2 + r 3
- Br 2 r 2 + r 3
- Cr 1 r 1 + r 2
- Dr 1 r 1 + r 2 .
Correct answer
B. r 2 r 2 + r 3
Step-by-step solution
Potential difference between B and C , V B C = i 3 r 3 = i 1 × r 2 r 3 r 2 + r 3 ⇒ i 3 = i 1 × r 2 r 2 + r 3
