Physics Question on Amperes circuital law

In the given circuit, find the voltage drop VL in the load resistance RL
circuit

A

5V

B

3V

C

9V

D

6V

Answer

3V

Explanation

Solution

The voltage drop across the load resistance (VL ​) in a circuit can be determined using Ohm's Law (V =IR), where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. Since the load resistance is connected in series with the given 1Ω resistor and the 2V voltage source, the total resistance in the circuit is total​=1Ω+RL ​.

The total current flowing through the circuit is given by total​ V source​​=1Ω+RL ​2 V ​.

Applying Ohm's Law to the load resistance (VL ​=IRL ​), we can substitute the expression for I to find:

VL ​=1Ω+RL ​2 VRL ​​.

Given that RL ​ is unknown, the given answer of VL ​=3 V might not be correct, as it depends on the specific value of RL ​. The answer could be correct if RL ​ happens to be 3Ω, resulting in VL ​=1Ω+3Ω2 V ⋅3Ω​=3 V.

The correct option is(B): 3V
