Problem

A student connects a resistor of 2.0 kΩ2.0\,\text{k}\Omega in a circuit. A current of 5.0 mA5.0\,\text{mA} flows through it. (i) Evaluate the potential difference across the resistor. (ii) The student wishes to reduce the current to 2.0 mA2.0\,\text{mA} without changing the supply voltage. Calculate the value of an additional resistor that must be connected in series with the existing resistor to achieve this.
