For this circuit, what will be the voltage drop across R2? A. 3.3 V B. 17 V C. 25 V D. 45 V

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

total resistance is: R= 2+10+15=...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! so the current is: I= 45/27=...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ermm i get 1.6666666667 so about 1.67?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Current is:I=1.67 mA= 1.67*10^(-3) amperes so the requested voltage drop is: V_2= 10^4*1.67*10^(-3)=...volts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we get this? 16.7?? so choice B (17 V) is our solution?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay! :) i can post the next one?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie! :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)
