Answer:
1500Ω
Explanation:
Given data
voltage = 15 V
total Resistance = 4000Ω
potential drop V = 9.375 V
To find out
R2
Solution
we know R1 +R2 = 4000Ω
So we use here Ohm's law to find out current I
current = voltage / total resistance
I = 15 / 4000 = 3.75 × [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] A
Now we apply Kirchhoffs Voltage Law for find out R2
R2 = ( 15 - V ) / current
R2 = ( 15 - 9.375 ) / 3.75 × [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]
R2 = 1500Ω
