If each resistor in the circuit shown is 5.0 Ω and the battery is 12.0 V, what does the second voltmeter (V2) read?

   

   

0.35 V

0.96 V

2.4 V

4.8 V

 

4.8 i think ?

We already determined the current through the circuit (in a previous question)

    I R4 = Voltage         R4 = 5 ohms    and current was from previous Q

For this circuit, what will be the voltage drop across R3 ?


   

21.3 V

14.2 V

45.0 V

9.47 V

 

i meant this one

it would be 45.0 right?

NO.......frown

Current in the circuit      v/r = i

 

45/(20+30+45) = 473 mA

 

Votage across  R3   =  IR =  .473 * 45 = 21.3 v

 

 

ALL of the voltage will be dropped around the circuit .....45 v will be dropped

   R3  portion will be a fraction     45 / (20+30+45)    x 45 v = 21.3 v
