Question

Look at the circuit below. What is the voltage between points C and D?

Answer 1

Option c) 1.5 V

Explanation:

As the circuit is build in series first we will find the current passing through the complete circuit. Current stays the same in each element is the series cirucuit, however, the voltage is different.

Voltage is given by the following formula:

V = IR

Because we have to find current through whole circuit, we will first find resistance of the whole circuit.

Equivalent Resistance R(eq): R1 + R2 = 60 + 60 = 120 ohm

Current passing through whole circuit be:

$I = \frac{V}{R(eq)}\\I = \frac{3}{120}$ = 0.025

Now we will find out the voltage between C and D:

Current stays the same in series circuit: I = 0.025 c

Resistance between C and D is, R = 60 ohm

Voltage becomes, V = IR = 0.025 * 60 = 1.5 V
