  1. Question 1

    Q1. A conductor has a resistance of 2 ohms. What is the ratio of the current in a 10-ohm resistor to the current in the conductor?

    • A) 1:5
    • B) 1:10
    • C) 1:5/3
    • D) 1:5/2

    Answer: 1:5

    Explanation: The ratio of the current in a 10-ohm resistor to the current in the 2-ohm conductor is 1:5, as per Ohm's law I = V/R.
