DC circuitsQuestion 1353 of 1506

Two resistors, 30 Ω and 200 Ω, are connected in series across a 347 V supply. What is the voltage drop across the 200 Ω resistor?

  1. 45.3 V
  2. 173.5 V
  3. 302 V
  4. 2310 V
Show answer

Correct answer: 302 V

Voltage divides in proportion to resistance: 347 V × 200 ÷ (30 + 200) = 302 V.
