STANDARD Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
A circuit has a section ABC as shown in figure. If the potentials at points A, B and C are V₁, V₂ and V₃ respectively. The potential at point O is
V₁ + V₂ + V₃
V₁/R₁ + V₂/R₂ + V₃/R₃
zero
[V₁/R₁, V₂/R₂, V₃/R₃](R₁ + R₂ + R₃)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using the junction rule and Ohm's law, the potential at point O can be calculated by balancing the currents through resistances R₁, R₂, and R₃. The correct expression is V₀ = V₁/R₁ + V₂/R₂ + V₃/R₃.
