if Voltage source is 12, resistance is 6800 and voltage 1 is 8 what is R2

series circuit $$R=6800 ΩU=12 VU1=8 VR2= ? Ω $$ I. I=R1U1=R2U2R2=U2U1R1 $$ II. R=R1+R2R1=RR2 $$ III. U=U1+U2U2=UU1 $$ we substitute U2=UU1 and R1=RR2 $$ R2=(UU1U1)(RR2)R2=(1U1U)R $$ R2=(18 V12 V)6800 Ω=(123)6800 Ω=136800 Ω=2266.¯6 Ω $$ R2=2266.¯6 Ω
