Question

Consider the potential difference between pairs of points in (Figure 1). Suppose that epsilon = 5.0 V. What is the magnitude of the potential difference Delta V_14 ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. What is the magnitude of the potential difference Delta V_24 ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. What is the magnitude of the potential difference Delta V_34 ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

Part A

from similarity of the resistance potential between 1 and 4 is divided by half of the total potential so

V14 = V/2

V14 = 5/2 = 2.5 volts

Part B

again by similarity

V24 = one forth of total potential

V24 = V/4

V24 = 5/4

V24 = 1.25 volts
