Problem

In a series circuit, three resistors R1R_1, R2R_2 and R3R_3 are connected to an ideal battery of emf VV. Which of the following gives the potential difference V2V_2 across R2R_2? a) V2=R1+R2R1+R2+R3 VV_2 = \dfrac{R_1+R_2}{R_1+R_2+R_3}\,V b) V2=R1+R2+R3R2 VV_2 = \dfrac{R_1+R_2+R_3}{R_2}\,V c) V2=R2R1+R2+R3 VV_2 = \dfrac{R_2}{R_1+R_2+R_3}\,V d) V2=R2R1+R3 VV_2 = \dfrac{R_2}{R_1+R_3}\,V
