Answer:
1. 5 V
2. A₂ = 1.2 A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Determination of the voltage measured at R₃.
Voltage at R₁ (V₁) = 1 V
Voltage at R₂ (V₂) = 6 V
Total voltage (Vₜ) = 12 V
Voltage at R₃ (V₃) =.?
Vₜ = V₁ + V₂ + V₃
12 = 1 + 6 + V₃
12 = 7 + V₃
Collect like terms
12 – 7 = V₃
V₃ = 5 V
Thus, the voltage measured at R₃ is 5 V
2. Determination of A₂.
From the circuit diagram, we can see that the resistors are in series arrangement. This means that the same current will pass through each resistor.
Thus,
A₂ = A₁ = 1.2 A
