Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. A network contains linear resistors and ideal voltage sources. If values of all the resistors are doubled, then the voltage across the resistor is—
    1. halved
    2. doubled
    3. increased by four times
    4. not changed
Correct Option: D

Let the network contains two resistors in

I =
V
or V = 2 IR ....(1)
R

If the value of resistance increases to two times
I becomes
1
and R becomes 2R.
2

so new voltage
V′ = 2.
1
(2R) = 2 IR = V
2

Hence, alternative (D) is correct.
