Find the potential difference at R2 if V = 10 V, R1=87 ohms and R2 = 44 ohms
Write answer with two decimal places without the unit inside the answer box
You didn't mention that resistance were either in parallel or in series...
First I consider them in parallel...
When they are in parallel , the potential will be equal across both resistor and equal to 8 Volt.
Second case Now I am going to consider them in series...
When they are in series then equivalent resistance is R = R1 + R2
R = 87 + 44
R = 131ohm
Current I = V/R= 10/131
I = 0.076 amp
Voltage across R2
V2 = I × R2
V2 = 0.076 × 44
V2 = 3.36 voltage
