Q4. Using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, what is the voltage drop across a 10Ω resistor if the total voltage in the loop is 20V and there is a 5Ω resistor in series?
Solution:
Using KVL, V_total = V_R1 + V_R2. V_R1 = 20V - (I * 5Ω). I = V/R = 20V / 15Ω = 1.33 A. V_R1 = 10Ω * 1.33 A = 13.33V.

Q6. If a capacitor of 10 µF is charged to a voltage of 5V, what is the stored energy?
Solution:
Energy stored U = 0.5 * C * V^2 = 0.5 * 10 x 10^-6 F * (5V)^2 = 0.125 mJ.
