    Two voltameters, one of copper and another of silver, are joined in parallel. When a total charge q flows through the voltameters, equal amount of metals are deposited. If the electrochemical equivalents of copper and silver are \[{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] respectively the charge which flows through the silver voltameter is                                               [AIEEE 2005]

    A)                    \[q\frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}}\]                                  

    B)                    \[q\frac{{{z}_{2}}}{{{z}_{1}}}\]

    C)                    \[\frac{q}{1+\frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}}}\]            

    D)                    \[\frac{q}{1+\frac{{{z}_{2}}}{{{z}_{1}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[m=zq\] Þ \[z\propto \frac{1}{q}\] Þ \[\frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}}{{{q}_{1}}}\]     ......(i)               also \[q={{q}_{1}}+{{q}_{2}}\] Þ \[\frac{q}{{{q}_{2}}}=\frac{{{q}_{1}}}{{{q}_{2}}}+1\]                       Þ  \[{{q}_{2}}=\frac{q}{1+\frac{{{q}_{1}}}{{{q}_{2}}}}\]                            ......(ii)                    From equation (i) and (ii) \[{{q}_{2}}=\frac{q}{1+\frac{{{z}_{2}}}{{{z}_{1}}}}\]
