Question
V1, V2 and V3 are the p.ds. across the 1Ω, 2Ω and 3Ω resistors in the following diagram, and the current is 5 A.
Which one of the columns (a) to (d) shows the correct values of V1, V2 and V3measured in volts?
`V_1` `V_2` `V_3`
(a) 1.0 2.0 3.0
(b) 5.0 10.0 15.0
(c) 5.0 2.5 1.6
(d) 4.0 4.0 2.0

Solution
(b) V1 = 5, V2 = 10 and V3 = 15
Because V = IR, the net voltage can be obtained by multiplying current with resistance.
