In the above, a voltage V is applied across the terminals P and Q. The voltage across the 1 ohm resistor is

A.

V/8

B.

V/4

C.

V/3

D.

V/2

Correct answer is C

Using the voltage- divider method which states that the output voltage is directly proportional to the input voltage and the ratio of R1 and R2, given by:

Va = RaRT×VT

RT = 1+4×44+4

RT = 3Ω

V1 = 13V
