PLEASE HELP ME WITH THOSE TWO QUESTIONS
A 122 Ohm, 232 Ohm, and 500 Ohm resistors are all connected in series with a 12 V battery. What is the current flowing through them?

A 100 Ohm, 200 Ohm, and 300 Ohm resistor are all connected in series to a 12 V battery. What is the potential difference drop across the 100 Ohm resistor?

Answer:

(a) 0.014 A

(b) 2 V

Explanation:

(a) Applying

V = IR'...................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltge, I = current, R = total resistance.

make I the subject of the equation

I = V/R'................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 12 V, R' = (122+232+500) ohms (The resistance are connected in series) = 854 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 12/854

I = 0.014 A

(b)  Applying

V' = V(R₁)/(R₁+R₂+R₃)...................... Equation 3

Where V' = Voltage across the 100 ohms resistor.

From the question,

V = 12V, R₁ = 100 ohm, R₂ = 200 ohm, R₃ = 300 ohm.

Substitute these values into equation 3

V' = (12×100)/(100+200+300)

V' = 1200/600

V' = 2 V
