Question

Three resistance of 4ohms, 6ohms and 10ohms are connected in series. The potential difference across the combination is 5V. Calculate the potential difference across each resister. Plz solve

Answer 1

Answer:

total resistance=20

V= 5V

I=V/R

=5/20= 0.25 A

Explanation:

V1=IR1

=0.25× 4

=1 V

V2=IR2

=.25×6

1.5 V

V3=IR3

=.25×10

2.5 V

Answer 2

Answer:

4ohm

Explanation:

let resistances be R1,R2,R3

Total resistance = 4ohm + 6ohm+ 10ohm = 20 ohm

current across circuit = v/r = 5/20 = 1/4 A

#P.D. of R1

v=ir

v=1/4*4= 1V

#P.D. of R2

v=ir

v=1/4*6=3/2 V

#P.D. of R3

v=ir

v=1/4*10=5/2 V
