Using the data on the diagram above, calculate the potential difference across the 20- Ω resistor. (Neglect the internal resistance of the cell)
5V
10V
20V
60V
Correct answer is D
Voltage across 5Ω resistor = IR = 2 × 5 = 10V
Since voltage in a parallel connection is the same, voltage across 10Ω is also 10V
Current flowing across the 10Ω resistor
I = V/R = 10/10
Current I= 1A
Total current flowing = 2 + 1 = 3A
Voltage across 20Ω resistor = IR
= 3 × 20
= 60V
