Three resistors with resistance 200Ω, 500Ω and 1kΩ are connected in series. A 6v battery is connected to either end of the combination. Calculate the potential difference between the ends of 200Ω resistance.

  • A.
    0.71V
  • B.
    0.7V
  • C.
    0.82V
  • D.
    0.8V
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

 

Req = 200 + 500 + 1000 = 1700Ω

P.d (across 200Ω) = 200


1700

× 6 = 0.71V
