What is the potential difference across the 10ω resistor in the figure?
What is the potential difference across the 20ω resistor in the figure?
Voltage = 15 V
Equivalent Rsistance = 10 + 20 = 30 ohm = R
V = I*R
current through circuit I = V/R
I = 15/30 = 0.5 A
the potential difference across the 10ohm resistor in the figure = I *R(10) = 0.5*10 = 5 V
the potential difference across the 20ohm resistor in the figure= I *R(20) = 0.5*20 = 10 V
