Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I _{ vet }= I _1+ I _2+2 \sqrt{ I _1 I _2} \cos \phi\)

\(= I _0+ I _0+2 I _0 \cos \frac{\pi}{3}\)

\(=2 I _0+2 I _0 \times \frac{1}{2}=3 I _0\)

\(I _{\text {net }}= I _0+ I _0+2 I _0 \cos 90^{\circ}=2 I _0\)

\(\text { Ratio }=\frac{3}{2}\)
