Question

Please help on this one?

Answer 1

A I just took it too

Answer 2

A, 30V

Step-by-step explanation:

First combine all resistors to an equivalent resistor. Since they are in series, the equivalent resistance is the sum of all resistor

Req = 20 + 40 + 60 = 120Ω

Using Ohm's law, find the current in the circuit

V = I * R

I = V / R

I = 60V / 120Ω

I = 0.5 A

Now the potential drop across the resistor R3 is the current times R3 resistance, therefore:

Vdrop = 0.5A * 60Ω = 30V

So the potential drop across resistor R3 is 30 V
