Question

In the circuit diagram below, all three resistors have the same resistance.

1.Rank the current (in descending order) at each of the following points in the circuit.
1 2 3 4 5  Point E
1 2 3 4 5  Point D
1 2 3 4 5  Point B
1 2 3 4 5  Point F
1 2 3 4 5  Point C

2. Rank the voltage difference (in descending order) for each of these pairs of points.
1 2 3 4 5  VCD
1 2 3 4 5  VFA
1 2 3 4 5  VFD
1 2 3 4 5  VEB
1 2 3 4 5  VDE

3. Rank the actual value of the electrical potential (in descending order) for each of these points.
1 2 3 4 5  Point D
1 2 3 4 5  Point B
1 2 3 4 5  Point E
1 2 3 4 5  Point F
1 2 3 4 5  Point A

Explanation / Answer

1) current remains same in all the resistors

==> all have same rank

2) VFD > VCD=VDE > VFA=VBE

3) Potential at F=A> D> B=E
