In a two-resistor series circuit V_R1 = 6.5 V_RMS and V_R2 = 3.2 V_RMS. The source voltage is ________. A) 13.7 V_P B) 9.19 V_P C) 9.7 V_P D) 4.53 V_P

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series circuit, the source voltage is equal to the sum of the voltages across each resistor. Therefore, the source voltage is 6.5 + 3.2 = 9.7 V_P. However, there seems to be a mistake in the interpretation of the choices provided, as none directly match the calculated sum. Based on the calculation, the correct concept was applied, but due to a misunderstanding or typo in the choices, the closest correct answer by calculation would be 9.7, which is not listed as it should be. Given the options, it appears there was an intention to select an answer that isn't directly supported by the calculation provided.
