Problem 6: (17% of Assignment Value)
A $V_0 = 675$ V voltage source appears in the circuit shown along with four resistors. The resistance values are $R_1 = 301$ k$\Omega$, $R_2 = 247$ k$\Omega$, and $R_3 = 394$ k$\Omega$.
Part (a)
What is the magnitude of the potential difference, in volts, across resistor $R_1$?
Part (b)
What is the magnitude of the potential difference, in volts, across the leftmost resistor with resistance value $R_2$?
$V_2 = 101.76$ V

-It may be useful to combine resistors that are in series or in parallel to form equivalent resistors. The circuit may be simplified in one or more steps.
-Applications of Ohm's law, of Kirchhoff's junction rule for currents, and of Kirchhoff's loop rule for voltage changes may be useful.
