Solution Summary
This complete solution includes calculations, answers and a brief explanation of voltage drop in the resistor. It uses the concepts of Ohm's Law and electric potential.
Solution Preview
1) Since 16Ohm and 8Ohm are series, according to Ohm's law, the voltage drop on 16Ohm is
12*(16/(16+8))=8V
2) Similarly, the voltage drop on 4Ohm is 12*(4/(4+8))=4V
3) We ...
