A series circuit is shown in the diagram below. What is the potential drop across R₁? (R₂ = 20 Ω, R₂ = 40 Ω, R₃ = 60 Ω, V = 60 V) (Ohm's law: IR)

Option B. 10 V.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 40 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 60 Ω

Potential difference (V) = 60 V

Next, we shall determine the total resistance of the circuit.

The circuit is in series connection. Therefore the total resistance (R) can be obtained by adding up R₁, R₂ and R₃ together as shown below:

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

R = 20 + 40 + 60

R = 120 Ω

Therefore, the total resistance in the circuit is 120 Ω

Next, we shall determine the current flowing in the circuit.

Note: The same current will flow through each resistor since they are in series connection.

The current flowing in the circuit can be obtained as follow:

Potential difference (V) = 60 V

Total resistance (R) = 120 Ω

Current (I) =..?

V = IR

60 = I x 120

Divide both side by 120

I = 60/120

I = 0.5 A

Therefore, the current flowing in the circuit is 0.5 A

Now, we can calculate the potential drop across R₁ as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 Ω

Current (I) = 0.5 A

Potential difference cross R₁ (V₁) =.?

V₁ = IR₁

V₁ = 0.5 x 20

V₁ = 10 V

Therefore, the potential difference across R₁ is 10 V.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
