Question

Given four resistors R1 = 100 ohms, R2=250 ohms, R3 = 350 ohms, and R4 = 200 ohms such that R1 and R2 in parallel will be connected in series with R3 and R4 in parallel. The series-parallel combination is connected across a 24-volt DC power supply. Find the voltage across R2 and voltage across R4

   

voltage drops across R2 and R4 are both 12 V

   

voltage drop across R2 is 18.63 V and voltage across R4 is 5.37 V

   

voltage drop across R2 is 8.63 V and voltage across R4 is 15.37 V

   

voltage drop across R2 is 8.63 V and voltage across R4 is 15.37 V
