It is okay to offer alternate solutions to old schoolwork threads where the OP has already solved the problem. Please just keep in mind that in active threads, the OP must do the bulk of the work. We cannot offer solutions to them until after they have solved their schoolwork problem. Thanks.erpelkon said:
To calculate the total resistance of the circuit, you need to add the individual resistances of the resistors together. In this case, you would add the resistance of resistor 1 to the resistance of resistor 2.
To calculate the total voltage of the circuit, you need to add the voltages of the two sources together. Make sure to pay attention to the polarity of each source when adding them together.
To apply Kirchhoff's voltage law to this circuit, you need to sum up the voltage drops across each component in a closed loop. The sum of the voltage drops should equal the sum of the voltage sources in that loop.
To calculate the current flowing through the circuit, you can use Ohm's Law. Divide the total voltage of the circuit by the total resistance to find the current. This current will be the same throughout the circuit due to the series connection of the resistors.
To calculate the voltmeter reading in this circuit, you can use the voltage divider rule. Determine the voltage drop across each resistor using the total current calculated earlier, and then sum these voltage drops to find the voltmeter reading.
