Homework Statement
How would you calculate the voltage at a specific resistor given that it's a parallel circuit.

The formula for calculating voltage at a specific resistor is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. To calculate voltage, you will need to know the current flowing through the resistor and the value of the resistor.
Voltage is measured in volts (V). It is a unit of electric potential difference, which represents the amount of potential energy per unit of charge.
Yes, Ohm's Law (V = IR) can be used to calculate voltage at a specific resistor as long as you have the values for current and resistance.
You can use a multimeter to measure the current flowing through a resistor. Set your multimeter to the appropriate current measurement range, and then connect the multimeter in series with the resistor.
The relationship between voltage and resistance in a circuit is inverse. This means that as resistance increases, voltage decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law (V = IR).
