Five resistors are connected between points A and B as shown in fig. A current of 10A flows from A to B. which of the following is correct?

A

`V_(AC) = V_(CB)`

B

`V_(AC) gt V_(CB)`

C

`(V_(AC) lt V_(CB)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

For resistance in sereis connection, current (I) is the same
through the resistors.
`I = (5-3)/(R_(1)) = (3-2)/(R_(2)) = (2)/(R_(3)), i.e., R_(1) : R_(2) : R_(3) = 2 : 1 :2`
