What is the voltage of R1 when the circuit with 24 V applied, has series resistors R₁ 1 kΩ) and R₂ 2 kΩ) which are in parallel with R₃ 3 kΩ)? A) 12 V B) 24 V C) 16 V D) 8 V

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total resistance of R1 and R2 in series is 3 kΩ, which is in parallel with R3 (3 kΩ). The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is 1.5 kΩ. The voltage across R1 is the same as the voltage across the parallel combination, which is 8 V (since the total voltage is divided equally across the two equal resistances in parallel).
