Question

A 24 V battery is connected to a voltage divider circuit consisting of a 1 resistor and a 2 resistor. What is the voltage across the 2 resistor?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 V

Explanation:

Equivalent R

• 1/1 + 1/2 = 1/R
• 3/2 = 1/R
• R = 2/3Ω

Finding Current

• I = V/R
• I = 24/2
• I = 12A

Finding V

• V = 12 * 2/3
• V = 8 V
