A conductor and a semi-conductor are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. At a certain voltage both ammeters register the same current. If the voltage of the DC source is increased then
Show Hint
In parallel circuits, if the resistance ratios remain constant, the current ratio remains the same even with voltage changes.
the ammeter connected to the semiconductor will register higher current than the ammeter connected to the conductor
the ammeter connected to the conductor will register higher current than the ammeter connected to the semiconductor
the ammeters connected to both semiconductor and conductor will register the same current
the ammeter connected to both semiconductor and conductor will register no change in the current
Hide Solution

The Correct Option isC
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Current through the components.
When the conductor and semiconductor are in parallel, the current through each depends on the resistance of the material. When the voltage is increased, the current will increase, but the ratio of currents remains the same.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{(C) the ammeters connected to both semiconductor and conductor will register the same current}}
\]
