Question 36
Current ElectricityThree resistors, with substances 250 Ω, 500 Ω and 1 kΩ are connected in series. A 6 V battery is connected to either end of the combination. Calculate the potential difference between the ends of the 250 Ω resistor.
- A.0.20 V
- B.0.86 V
- C.1.71 V
- D.3.43 V.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B (0.86 V)
Explanation
Total = 1750 Ω, so I = 6/1750 A. V = 250 × 6/1750 ≈ 0.86 V.
