  1. You have two resistors, R1 and R2, and you know that R1 = 10 kΩ. You set up the voltage divider circuit shown in Fig. 7.9 where the battery voltage, V0, is 9 V. You measure Vout to be 3 V. What is the value of R2?

Answer #1

The concept used is of voltage dividing rule as here voltage is divided in the ration of their resistance , as input voltage by the battery and output voltage is given so unknown resistance can be easily be calculated.

The electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the values of their resistances. Unfortunately, stock is low, and all you have are R1 and R2 in parallel and in series - and you can't separate these two resistor combinations. You separately connect each resistor network to a battery with emf 45.0 V and negligible internal resistance and measure the power P supplied by the battery in both...
