2016PPP1Q40

Solutions: Option C

[There is another similar question in 2013 Nov Pure Physics P1Q40. The answer is Option C too. Refer to the last section of this post]


Refer to the 2 videos below. The 1st one is faster if you know that the bigger the resistance, by proportion, the bigger the potential difference of the component as it will take a larger portion of the emf wrt to the other components in series. This method is especially useful for MCQ.



If you are still unsure, you may put in values to find the I, V and P across the components. This will be more tedious and time-consuming.
