When one of three series resistors is removed from a circuit and the circuit is reconnected, the current
increases
increases by one-third
decreases by one-third
decreases by the amount of current through the removed resistor

V=IR.

R=V/I.

So resistor and current inversely proportional. So resistor value decreases means the current value is to be increased.

We know I = v/r.

Current and resistance are inversely proportional.

So as resistance decreases I increases.

Option A is correct.

When one resistor is removed the current will be increased by 1/6, hence there is no option of that option A is correct.

When resistance decreases,the current increases.Because R=V/I, resistance and current are inversely proportional.

Resistance oppose the flow of current if one opposition resistance is remove so obviously current increase.

Current limiting resistors can limit the small current here not considered current same in series circuit.

Rupesh said:   1 decade ago
As the values of resistors are not given so we can say current will increase only.

Here wrong options are given, as we know in series network current is always same.

i1 = 1/3r.
i2 = 1/2r.

i2 = 3/2(i1).

So current increases by 1.5 not by 1/3.

The current is the same in the series circuit, neither increase nor decrease.
