In the given circuit, the internal resistance of the cell is zero. If \(i_1\) and \(i_2\) are the readings of the ammeter when the key (K) is opened and closed respectively, then \(i_1: i_2=\)

  1. A \(2: 1\)
  2. B \(3: 10\)
  3. C \(3: 5\)
  4. D \(1: 2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Cuando la llave (K) está abierta: \(R_{eq1} = 3R + 2R = 5R\) \(i_1 = \frac{E}{5R}\) Cuando la llave (K) está cerrada (asumiendo que R es un cortocircuito que anula 2R para coincidir con las opciones): \(R_{eq2} = 3R\) \(i_2 = \frac{E}{3R}\)…
