Question 1 Report

Three resistors, with substances $250\Omega$, $500\Omega$ and $1k\Omega$ are connected in series. A 6V battery is connected to either end of the combination. Calculate the pot3ential difference between the end of the $250\Omega$ resistor.

0.20V

0.86V

1.71V

3.43V

Answer Details

Using voltage - divider method

v1 = $\frac{(R_{1})}{R_{T}}$ VT

= $\frac{250}{1750}$ x $\frac{6}{1}$

= 0.86V
