Question

When two equal value resistors are connected in series and the combination is connected across 12 volts what will be the voltage at the centre of
the resistors with respect to ground
Options
12 Volts
18 Volts
6 Volts
24 Volts​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 volts

Is my answer is correct

Answer 2

Given,

Two resistors of the same value that are connected in series.

EMF across which the resistors are connected is 12V.

To find,

The voltage at the center of the resistors

Solution,

When the resistors are connected in parallel,

the voltage distribution is-

V$_R_1$ = V R$_1$/(R$_1$+R$_2$)

in this case,

V$_R$ = V R/(R+R)

V$_R$ = V/2

putting the given values,

V$_R$ = 12/2

⇒ V$_R$ = 6V

∴ The voltage between the two resistors is 6V.
