Which of the following statements is correct for the given diagram?
Correct answer: C. I2 is smaller than I1 but bigger than I3
- A. I2 is smaller than I3 and I1
- B. I3 is smaller than I2 and I1
- C. I2 is smaller than I1 but bigger than I3
- D. I2 is smaller than I3 but bigger than I1
Explanation
Option A is wrong because I1 is the total current so cannot be smaller than I2 or I3.Option B is incorrect because it shows that I2 is greater than I1 as I2 is written before I1 so it is incorrect.Option C is correct because I2 has lower resistance so there's more current than in I3 as resistance is inversely proportional to current.Option D Is incorrect because I2 is bigger than I3 but smaller than I1.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
