By: ECE student Paul Wonnacott

Topic: Voltage Division


Question

Determine VR in the figure below. https://www.projectrhea.org/rhea/images/d/d8/Voltage_Division.pdf

Answer

For this problem use voltage division. Take the ratio of the 4 ohm resistor divided by the sum of the resistances in series, which is 9 ohms, and multiply by the source voltage of 10 volts. The answer should be about 4.44 volts.
