In the circuit shown, the voltmeter reading is 40 V. Find the value of unknown resistor R
Since the voltage across the resistor is 40V, we have 20i = 40 ⇒ i = 2A ⇒
Applying KVL to the loop
−40−10R−20+100=0 ⇒R=4Ω
In the circuit shown, the ideal voltmeter reading is 40 V. The value of unknown resistor R is
