Answer:

To solve for the voltage drop at V₁, we can use Ohm's law, which states that the voltage drop across a resistor (V) is equal to the current (I) flowing through it multiplied by the resistance (R) of the resistor.

V = I * R

The information given in the question is as follows:

VT = 101.00 V

T = Unknown

R₁ = Unknown

V₁= Unknown

I₁=Unknown

R₂= Unknown

V₂= 33.00 V

I₂ = 12.00 Amperes

R₂ = Unknown

V₃ = 37.00 V

I₃ = 13.00 Amperes

R₃ = 12.00 Ohms

The first step is to calculate the current flowing through the circuit by using the formula Power= Voltage * Current

P = VT

I = P/VT = 101/101 = 1 Amperes

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the voltage drop across R1:

V₁ = I * R₁ = 1 * R₁

To find the resistance of R1, we can use the formula:

T = V₁ + V₂ + V₃

R₁ = (T - V₂ - V₃) / I

Substituting the values,

101 = V₁ + 33 + 37

V₁ = (101 - 33 - 37) = 31 Volts

So, the voltage drop at V₁, which is the voltage drop at resistor one, is 31 Volts.
