Hello Everyone I'm a first timer looking for some help on a Homework issue.
This thing is stumping me like crazy
For the circuit in Figure 25-63, V = 1 V and R = 4 . Find the potential difference between points a and b.
V=IR
Well I calculated that the entire circuit would have a total resistance of 5 ohms. Because I calculated each border resistance in series being (1/1)+(1/1) = 1/R. Then added the middle 4. Now using the equation V=IR I solved for my current (2/5)= 0.4 A
So now to find the Potential difference I did (1-(4*0.4)) = -0.6 Volts shouldn't be negative so what in the world gives.
Thanks for all your help
