Resistors in parallel across a battery.
Resistors in parallel across a battery.
Two resistors, Resistor 1 with resistance \(R_1 = R\) and Resistor 2 with resistance \(R_2 = 3R\), are connected in parallel across an ideal battery of potential difference \(V_0\). The current through Resistor 1 is \(I_1\) and the current through Resistor 2 is \(I_2\). Which of the following correctly states the ratio of the currents \(\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\) and provides the correct physical justification?
