Question

Which of the following statements is true about the circuit shown?

I subscript 1 greater than I subscript 3 greater than I subscript 2
I subscript 1 equals I subscript 2 equals I subscript 3
I subscript 2 greater than I subscript 3 greater than I subscript 1
I subscript 1 greater than I subscript 2 greater than I subscript 3

Answer 1

Not a clue @Shadow

Answer 2

what is subscript, lol

Answer 3

\(l_1\)

Answer 4

It's an I?

Answer 5

No, its the small character next to the letter

Answer 6

I subscript 1 is \(l_1\)

Answer 7

Sounds like it's referring to current

Answer 8

Which isn't constant in this parallel system with the three pathways.

Answer 9

Unlike in a series circuit

Answer 10

To make this easier,

Answer 11

Yea, each one has a different resistance, but I'm not sure which one is l1/l2/l3

Answer 12

Which is what tripped me up here

Answer 13

\ Less resistance = more current

Answer 14

That bug again

Answer 15

\[I_{1} = \frac{ V_{1} }{ R_{1} }\]

Answer 16

For some reason, when I put a subscript on it, poof doesn't happen.

Answer 17

But you can imagine how annoying it was for my physics study guide on Ohms Law until I figured that out ._.

Answer 18

So wait, is it \(l_2\)?

Answer 19

(I meant for the middle)

Answer 20

so, \(l_1 \gt l_3 \gt l_2\)?

Answer 21

\[I_{1} = \frac{ 12 }{ 2 } = 6 A\]
\[I_{2} = \frac{ 12 }{ 8} = 1.5 A\]
\[I_{3} = \frac{ 12 }{ 5 } = 2.4 A\]

Answer 22

Wait, does r1 = l1? I have no idea what is what here

Answer 23

@Shadow after thinking here... was I right?

Answer 24

What do you think the answer is?

so, \(l_1 \gt l_3 \gt l_2\)?

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

Sorry I'm kind of distracted ._.
