Question

In the given circuit the cells have zero internal resistance. The currents (in amperes) passing through resistance r1, and r2 respectively, are:

Answer 1

Answer:

0 (Zero) amperes

Explanation:

Current always takes the least resistance path to flow in any given circuit.

As given, the cells have zero resistance. Thus even though there are other paths with resistance r1 and r2, the current will flow inversly proportional to there resistance.

As r1 and r2 will offer resistance to the fow, all the current must flow through cells with 'Zero' resistance.

Thus no currents will flow through r1 and r2, and will bypass he resistances in the circuit.
