Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circuit with a 15V battery and two resistors in series (R1 = 5Ω, R2 = 10Ω), what is the voltage across R2?
  • Step 1: Identify the total voltage in the circuit, which is given as 15V from the battery.
  • Step 2: Identify the values of the resistors: R1 = 5Ω and R2 = 10Ω.
  • Step 3: Calculate the total resistance in the circuit by adding R1 and R2: Total Resistance = R1 + R2 = 5Ω + 10Ω = 15Ω.
  • Step 4: Use the formula to find the voltage across R2: Voltage across R2 = (R2 / Total Resistance) * Total Voltage.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: Voltage across R2 = (10Ω / 15Ω) * 15V.
  • Step 6: Simplify the calculation: Voltage across R2 = (10 / 15) * 15V = 10V.
