Explanation / Answer

Here ,

R1 = 16 Ohm

R2 = 26 Ohm

Now , V = 15 V

Using Voltage divider formula ,

V1 = R1 *V/(R1 + R2)

V1 = 16 * 10/(16 + 26)

V1 = 5.71 V

the potential across R1 is 5.71 V

Now, For

V1 + V2 = V

5.71 + V2 = 15

V2 = 9.29 V

the potential difference across the R2 is 9.29 V
