Current Electricity and Electrical InstrumentHard
Question
An electric current is passed through a circuit containing two wires of the same material, connected in parallel. If the length and radii of the wires are in the ratio of 4/3 and 2/3, then the ratio of the currents passing through the wire will be
Options
A.3
B.1/3
C.8/9
