Three resistors of 100 W, 3900 W, and 1000 W are connected in series across a 200-V battery. What is the voltage drop across the resistor of value 1000 W?

Sagot :

Answer:

40 V

Explanation:

 I will assume that  the resistors are

           100 and 3900 and 1000 OHMS    <=====(NOT W)

In series , the resistances add together 100 + 3900 + 1000 = 5000 ohms total

V = IR

I = V / R      so the total current will be   200 v / 5000 ohms = .04 amps

                   this is the current through all of the resistors

      so for the   1000 ohm resistor     V = IR     .04 (1000) = 40 V
