5 R3 R2 We are back playing around with circuits. This time round it is resistors!! In the circuit shown R3> R2> R4> R1. Four PHY 4B students are discussing the currents in this circuit and the professor overhears these conversations in in MLK building: Anja: "I think the current in R, will be the largest because all of the current from the battery goes through it." Brina: "I think the current through R2, R3, and R, will all be the same because there are two branches in the circuit and each branch will get half of the current." Charlie: "Well I disagree with RIMA I think the current in R, will be larger than the current in Rs and R.. The currents in the branches depend on the resistances of the branches." Deepa: "The only thing I am sure about is that the current in R, will be the same as that in R4 because they are in the same branch." Which, if any, of these students do you agree with?
