The Attempt at a Solution


i have used KCL to answer (a) and (b) and have answers 0.6 and 1 respectively.

for (c) and (d) i have used the equation v1=r1/(r1+r2)*v
and have answers 1 and 5 repectively.

for (e) i used power equation p=VI where V is 6 and I is 1 and have the answer 6.
thanks in advance for any help i get :)

The first two look OK.

What is the voltage across a resistor if it is 12 K and it has 0.4 mA flowing in it?
 
as in use Ohm's law to find it out?
 
Yes, you can see two resistors that add up to 12 K.

You need the total voltage across them.
 
so v1=0.8 and v2 =4.0?
oh and thankyou for your help :), its really appreciated.
