Question

Problem 2

Answer 1

Given information

The electric potential on the low-voltage end of the combination is volts

and the potential at the high-voltage end of the combination

is volts.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

First, When the two resistor are in series

1) The equivalent resistance is

 

2) Current through equivalent resistance is

From Ohm's law, we have

 

Hence,

 

 

Solving for
