Each branch in the following circuit has a resistance \(R\).
The equivalent resistance of the circuit between points \(A\) and \(B\) is:
1. | \(R\) | 2. | \(2R\) |
3. | \(4R\) | 4. | \(8R\) |
In the circuit, wire \(1\) is of negligible resistance. Then:
1. | current will flow through wire \(1\) if \(E _{1}\neq E _{2}\) |
2. | current will flow through wire \(1\) if \(\dfrac{E _{1}}{R_{1}}\neq \dfrac{E _{2}}{R_{2}}\) |
3. | current will flow through wire \(1\) if \((E_{1} +E _{2})\left ( R_{1}+R_{2} \right )\neq (E_{1} -E _{2})\left ( R_{1}-R_{2} \right )\) |
4. | no current will flow through wire \(1\) |
Three resistors are connected to a \(20\) V battery with a constant voltage supply. One of the resistors is a variable resistor. The resistance of the variable resistor is gradually increased from \(0~\Omega\) to \(5\) \(\Omega.\)
Which graph correctly represents how the current drawn from the battery varies with the resistance \((R)\) of the variable resistor?
