Finding potential difference between terminals

AI Thread Summary
To find the potential difference between the terminals of a circuit with six 5-ohm resistors connected to a 2V cell, it's essential to determine the configuration of the resistors, whether in series or parallel. The current can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that current equals voltage divided by resistance. If the resistors are in series, the total resistance would be the sum of all resistors, affecting the current and potential difference. Clarifying the resistor arrangement is crucial for accurate calculations. Understanding these principles will guide the solution to the problem.

Dear all,

can some one help me to solve this question

6 resisitors of resistance 5 ohm are connected to 2 v cell of negligible internal resistance, what will be the pottential difference between terminals, how to slove this

thanks

Current is equal to voltage over resistance, so how do you calculate voltage? do you know the current that's flowing?
 
manjula, you really should show an attempt at solving the problem before we can give you help.

Are the resistors connected in series (you didn't say in your post). If so, then as Bobbadillo said you'll need to find the current in the circuit.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
