A 6-ohm resistor and a 4-ohm resistor are

connected in series with a 6-volt battery in an

operating electric circuit. A voltmeter is

connected to measure the potential difference

across the 6-ohm resistor.

In the space in your answer booklet, draw a

diagram of this circuit including the battery,

resistors, and voltmeter using symbols from the

Reference Tables for Physical Setting/Physics.

Label each resistor with its value. [Assume the

availability of any number of wires of negligible

resistance.]

Verified Answer :

The current flowing in the circuit is given by the Ohm's First Law.

\(i_{eq}= \frac{V}{R_{eq}} \\ i_{eq}= \frac{6}{4+6} \\ i_{eq}= 0.6A\)
 
     The current flowing in the 6-ohm resistor is the total current of circuit, therefore the voltage drop across this resistor is given by:

\(V_{6}=R_{6}*I_{eq} \\ V_{6}=6*0.6 \\ \boxed {V_{6}=3.6V}\)
