Three resistances of 2Ω each are connected to a 2V battery as shown in Fig. Then

a
I1=1A, I2=1A
b
I1=1A, I2=2A
c
I1=2A, I2=2A
d
I1=2A, I2=1A

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The three resistances are in parallel. Their equivalent resistance is given by                      1Req=12+12+12⇒Req=23Ω∴  Current  I=2V23Ω=3ASince the resistances are in parallel, the potential difference across each resistance is the same = voltage of the battery. Further, since the three resistances are equal, the current through each is the same =I3=3A3=1A. So the correct choice is (c).
