Three resistors, with substances 250(Omega), 500(Omega) and 1k(Omega) are connected in series. A 6V battery is connected to either end of the combination. Calculate the pot3ential difference between the end of the 250(Omega) resistor.
  • A.
    0.20V
  • B.
    0.86V
  • C.
    1.71V
  • D.
    3.43V
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Using voltage – divider method
v1 = (frac{(R_1)}{R_T})VT
= (frac{250}{1750}) x (frac{6}{1})
= 0.86V
