In a circuit, resistance \( R_1 \) is connected in series with the parallel combination of resistances \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \). The currents passing through the resistances \( R_1, R_2 \) and \( R_3 \) are \( I_1, I_2 \) and \( I_3 \), respectively. What will be the ratio \( \frac{I_3}{I_1} \) of currents in terms of the resistances connected in the circuit?

  1. A \( \frac{R_2 + R_3}{R_1} \)
  2. B \( \frac{R_2}{R_2 + R_3} \)
  3. C \( \frac{R_3}{R_1 + R_2} \)
  4. D \( \frac{R_1}{R_2 + R_3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \frac{R_2}{R_2 + R_3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I_3 = I_1 \frac{R_2}{R_2 + R_3} \) \( \frac{I_3}{I_1} = \frac{R_2}{R_2 + R_3} \)
