It depends on the values of $R_1$ and $R_2$

anonymous · Answer

So that would mean its the first on...that you cannot tell?

parthkohli · Answer

Given the information, that's right:  we can't say anything.

anonymous · Answer

ok, great :) That's what I was thinking, but I was not sure.

anonymous · Answer

@ParthKohli  could you help me with another question?

parthkohli · Answer

Sure, but ... I'm busy with studying myself.

anonymous · Answer

oh, sorry...maybe u can just give me a general idea...no need to go super detailed or anything.

If each resistor in the circuit shown is 5.0 Ω and the battery is 12.0 V, what does the second voltmeter (V2) read?



       0.96 V

       0.35 V

       4.8 V

       2.4 V

$$I = \dfrac{\rm emf~of~battery}{\rm net~resistance}$$

First, you should figure out the current in this circuit.
