Question

Three resistances with the ratio R1: R2: R3 is equal to 1 :2 :3 are connected in series then what is equal to i1: i2: i3 ?

Answer 1

I1=(1/2)V I2=(1/4)V I3=(1/6)V if we simplify it by generating the LCM of ... Two resistances are in the ratio 1:2. ... 3 equal resistances are connected in a parallel ...

Answer 2

the Given:

The ratio of the Resistance R1:R2:R3 = 1:2:3

To find:

The ratio of the current i1, i2, i3 flowing in the resistances R1, R2, R3

i1:i2:i3 is to be found

Solution:

As per the Ohms law V = IR,

As the three resistances are connected in series, we know that in the series combination of circuits voltage varies in correspondence to resistance and the current remains constant.

Note: Current in series circuit does not depend upon the number of resistances connected in series.

So, the above series circuit will remain the same.

Therefore i1, i2, i3 are the same.

i1=i2=i3=I

Hence, the ratio of i1:i2:i3 is equal to 1:1:1
