Question

6Ω and 12Ω resistors are connected in parallel. This combination is connected to series with a 10 V battery and 6Ω resistor. What is the potential difference between the terminals of the 12Ω resistors?
  1. 14 V
  2. 16 V
  3. 10 V
  4. 4 V

A
16 V
B
14 V

VAB=?

Reff=6+12×612+6=10Ω

I=1A

VAB=106×1=4V
