In the resistor\'s combination shown in the figure at right R11.0 , R2 10 , R3 5.0 2y R4 2.0 2. If the current in R3, 13 2.0 A, then the voltage between points a and b is R2 a) 2 V d) 18 V b) 10 V. e) Another answer. Which one?:_ c) 11 V R, R, R, Solution Solution: Given the current across R3 is = 2.0 A Voltage accross R3 = V3 = I3 * R3 = 2 * 5 = 10 V As in parallel voltage remains same , Current across R2 = 10 /10 = 1 A current across R4 = 10 / 2 = 5 A total current = 5 + 1 + 2 = 8 A So 8 A is the current passing through R1 voltage accros R1 = 8 * 1 = 8 V Voltage between a and b = 10 + 8 = 18 V .
