Question

Refer to diagram 4.
Current is flowing in the circuit shown. If a zero resistance wire is placed in parallel with R4, shorting it out, the current in R1 will
o drop to zero
o increase, but remain finite
o decrease, but current will still flow
O go to infinity
o remain the same

Expert Solution

Step 1

As a zero-resistance wire is added parallel to the resistance R₄, then no current flow through resistance R₄. On further solving the equivalent resistance of the circuit decreases.
