Five identical resistors each of resistance 
are connected to a 
battery as shown in the circuit. The reading of the ideal ammeter 
is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In the given circuit, all the five resistors are connected in parallel to 
battery.
Therefore, the potential difference across each resistor is
and by Ohm's law current through each resistor is
Since the three resistors are connected to the right of ammeter, hence the reading of the ideal ammeter
