Interpretation:
The voltage V2 should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
When resistors are in series, a voltage divider. V = V1 + V2 + V3
The current in a series circuit is everywhere the same. In other words, I = I1 = I2 = I3
The total resistance Rs of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances of the individual components. Rs = R1 + R2 + R3
