Gives

R1=36Ω,R2=18ΩR_1=36\Omega,R_2=18\Omega

V=15V

Both resistance are series combination

Rnet=R1+R2R_{net}=R_1+R_2


Rnet=36+18=54ΩR_{net}=36+18=54\Omega


Inet=VR=1554I_{net}=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{ 15}{54}



Inet=0.277AI_{net}=0.277A

V1=IR1=0.277×36=9.972VV_1=IR_1=0.277\times36=9.972V



V2=IR2=0.277×18=4.986VV_2=IR_2=0.277\times18=4.986V
