Answer 2

Given,

Two resistors of 5 Ω and 10 Ω.

A battery of 2V.

To Find,

The potential difference across the 10 Ω resistor.

Solution,

First, we will find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

R net = R₁+R₂

R net = 5+10

R net = 15 Ω

Now, using the Ohm's law

V = R*I, where V is the potential difference, R is the resistance, and I is the current.

I = V/R = 2/15 = 0.13 Ampere.

Now, the potential difference a across the 10 Ω resistor is

V = R*I = 10*0.13 = 1.3 V.

Hence, the potential difference across the 10 ohm resistor is 1.3 V.
