SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the ratio of resistances R1 and R2 using the provided values: V1 = 0V, V2 = 2.4V, and A = 10.8A. The participant calculated the current through R2 as 6mA and subsequently derived its resistance as 400 ohms using the formula R = V/I. However, the discussion highlights the need for additional information regarding V1 to accurately establish the ratio R1/R2, emphasizing the importance of understanding the potential drop across each resistor.
