Question

19.6) Three resistors are connected in series with a
battery, as shown
A
B
C
Resistor A has the greatest resistance of the
three. The current through A is 1.4 A. What
can you say about the currents through
B and C?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the three resistors are connected in serious with a battery is shown ABC resistor a has the greatest resistance

Answer 2

Answer:

The current through B and C will be 1.4A.

Explanation:

This is a conceptual question.

• The effect of current flow in the resistor will be decided by the combination in which the resistors are connected. i.e.series, parallel,or both.

• Here the resistors are connected end to end i.e.they are in a series combination.
• And we know that in a series combination the current through the resistors remains the same no matter what the resistance.
• So, the current through the resistors B and C will also remain the same i.e.1.4A.

Hence, the current through B and C will be 1.4A.
