Answer to Question #338970 in Electric Circuits for Lorde Louvre

Question

1. A resistor R in series with an 8 ohms resistor is connected across a 60 V voltage source delivering 2.5 A of current. Find the value of resistor R.

Answer 1

$$R_{net}=R+8=\frac{V}{I}$$

$$R+8=\frac{60}{2.5}$$

$$R=16\;\Omega$$
