V2=V1R1(R1+R2) and putting the values we get 12

Voltage Divider (Vout)=(R2/(R1+R2))xVin
= (68/(68+68))x24
= 12V
= (68/(68+68))x24
= 12V

Voltage divider always in series combination so solve it by voltage divider method as 24 V/ 2 = 12 we as both are having equal value so voltage will be divide and current will remain same.

From my opinion,
In series, total voltage is the sum of individual voltages.
V1 is the voltage output after the current I which is the same in series passes through the resistor R1(68).
R(total) = 68+68 = 2 x 68.
We know total voltage supplied is 24.
V(total) = I * R(total).
I = 24 x 1/(2x68) = 12/68.
I = I1 = I2.
So V2 = I x R2 (V2 = output voltage after passing R2).
= 12/68 x 68.
= 12 V.

= 12/68 x 68.
= 12 V.

A voltage divider consists of two 68 k resistors and a 24 V source.
The unknown output voltage is:
In this question there is no specification that the Vout is across which resistor that is whether it is across r1: 68 ohm or r2: 68 ohm or across r1+r2 : 136 ohm. So answer may be 12v or 24v. Data insufficient.

Hello @Subhojit,
In this question these 2 resistors are in series and same value so voltage across any of the resistor is same I think if it is wrong tell me with clarity.

In voltage divider the resistors will be in series. So to find the voltage across any resistor just apply the voltage divider rule. Another way is, find the total resistance and the current, then by using OHM's law we can easily find the voltage across each resistor.

Unknown out put voltage = (24*68)/(68+68).
= 12v.
= 12v.
