Question
Let I1 be 2 mA in the figure below. What is the voltage drop across the 2 kOhm resistor in the upper right? You should NOT have to do a lot of calculations.
(a.)6 V with the higher voltage at the top end of the resistor.
(b.)4 V with the higher voltage at the top end of the resistor.
(c.)14 V with the higher voltage at the top end of the resistor.
(d.)6 V with the higher voltage at the bottom end of the resistor.
(e.)14 V with the higher voltage at the bottom end of the resistor.
24 V 6 V 1 > 11Explanation / Answer
Here , for I1 = 2 mA
current in 4 kOhm = 5 mA
Using Current law at right node
5 + 2 - I2 = 0
I2 = 7 mA
Now, for 2 kOhm
voltage across 2 kOhm = 2 * 7 V
voltage across 2 kOhm = 14 V
lower point will be at the higher potential
(e.)14 V with the higher voltage at the bottom end of the resistor.
