$\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}=3$
$R_1+R_2=16$
$R_1 R_2=48$
$R_1\left(16-R_1\right)=48$
$R_1^2-16 R_1+48=0$
$R_1=4,12$

Three resistors having resistances $\mathrm{r}_{1}, \mathrm{r}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{r}_{3}$ are connected as shown in the given circuit. The ratio $\frac{i_{3}}{i_{1}}$ of currents in terms of resistances used in the circuit is :
A battery consists of a variable number '$n$' of identical cells having internal resistances connected in series. The terminals of battery are short circuited and the current $i$ is measured. Which of the graph below shows the relation ship between $i$ and $n$
A cell having an emf $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a variable external resistance $R.$ As the resistance $R$ is increased, the plot of potential difference $V$ across $R$ is given by
If three resistors of resistance $2 \,\Omega$, $4 \,\Omega$ and $5 \,\Omega$ are connected in parallel then the total resistance of the combination will be
