Three resistors, an ideal cell are connected as shown in figure. The switch is initially open. When we close the swithc, the current in the resistor `R_(2)` will.

A

Increases

B

decrease

C

remain same

D

increase or decrease depending on the value of `R_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because `R_(3)` is shorted, potential difference across `R_(2)` is increased. Hence current is increased. This increase is independent of value of `R_(1)`.
