Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

A 3, 5 and 2 ohms resistance is connected in series with a 10 V battery. The voltage across the 2 ohms resistor is

  • 2 V.
  • 10V.
  • 4 V.

Explanation

The series resistances total 3 + 5 + 2 = 10 ohms, so the current is 10 V / 10 ohms = 1 A. The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is then I x R = 1 A x 2 ohms = 2 V.

Jacopo asking:

Someone could explain pls?

I=V/R=10/10=1A

Thus V across 2 ohm, V=IR, V=1*2=2V
