Three resistances of magnitude 2, 3 and 5 ohm are connected in parallel to a battery of 10 volts and of negligible resistance. The potential difference across `3 Omega` resistance will be

Options

A. 10 V
B. 5 V
C. 3 V
D. 2 V

Answer

A

Explanation

Since the resistors are in parallel and internal resistance of the cell is negligible, therefore potential difference across each resistor is equal to emf of battery.
