Given data: The battery emf = ε Resistor R1 is connected in parallel combination with the battery Two resistors R2 and R3 are connected in series , this combination is connected in parallel with battery Required: The resistors that draws least current When the resistors are connected in parallel combination the voltage across the resistor is equal to the battery Voltage. Let R1 = R2 = R3 = R The current through resistor R1 I = εR1= εR The resistor R2 and R3 are connected in series combination The equivalent resistance of the series combination is given by Req = R2+R3= R+R= 2R The equivalent resistance of the R2 and R3 is 2R The current through R2 and R3 I23 = εReq= ε2R The current through R2 and R3 is same and half of the current through R1 So the least current flowing through R2 and R3 Answer: R2 and R3
