resistor is connected in parallel witl a 4.0 resistor. These resistors are connected to a battery. W out, i.e, becomes an infinite resistance? ttery. itt happen if the 3. tti happen if resistor burns A) The current in the 4.0 resistor will drop to zero. B) The power dissipated in the circuit will increase G The current provided by the battery will not change D) The current in the 6.0 resistor will increase.

Solution

When 3 ohm resistor burns out then the total current does not divided at the parallel combination of 3 ohm and 6 ohm.that means it totally passed through 6 ohm resistor.

Therefore the current in the 6 ohm resistor will increase.

Option(D) is correct.
