Three resistors, an ideal cell are conne...

Three resistors, an ideal cell are connected as shown in figure. The switch is initially open. When we close the switch, 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)`.
