Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
Consider the following choices: (a) increases, (b) decreases, (c) remains the same. From these choices, choose the best answer for the following situations. (i) In 27.3, a third resistor is added in series with the first two. What happens to the current in the battery? (ii) What happens to the terminal voltage of the battery? (iii) In 27.5, a third resistor is added in parallel with the first two. What happens to the current in the battery? (iv) What happens to the terminal voltage of the battery?
