RL is given as 120k

So 1st calculate the total resistance by
120k||8K=7500
then 2k+7500=9500

N
v=ir
20=i*9500
i=20/9500=2.1052exp-3

Now by current division rule
current through RL will be say
I2=i*8k/(8k+120k)=1.315exp-4
again
v=ir

So say voltage across RL be v2
v2=1.315exp-4*120k
=15.79v

same can be solved using voltage division rule

Very simple procedure,

Step 1:Find parallel combination of 8K & 120K = 7.5K
Step 2:Now 2k &7.5k are in series so total resistance=9.5k
Step 3:Find ct I=20v/9.5k= 2.105mA,
Step 4:find drop across 2K is 2.105m*2K=4.2V
Step 5:Finally Vl=20-4.2=15.8v.

In the Given Circuit RL=120K
So RL and R2 in parallel,
R2=8K
1/R=1/R2+1/RL
1/R=1/8+1/120
1/R=0.13333
R=7.5K
THEN R AND R1 IN SERIES SO TOTAL R =9.5K
CURRENT I =0.0021A
SO
VL = I*R VL=0.0021*7.5K
VL =15.75..

Thanks,
Karthik

Can we choose this method?

Apply *voltage Divider Rule *
V=((Total voltage *opposite Resistance) /Total Resistance)
20*8/8+2=16V.

Whatever the Voltage across parallel is same as the other side That's why its 16v.

8k parallel 10k= (8*120)/(8+120)= 7.5k.

Now,

Voltage across 7.5k = Vol.across 120k (bz 8k parallel 120k)

So vol across 7.5k =(20V * 7.5k)/2k + 7.5k,
= 15.79V.

(Vol.divider equation)

resistor 120k is parallel with 8k.
So r=1/120+1/8 = 7.5k.
vout=r2/(r1+r2) = 7.5/((2+7.5).
= 15.78947368421053 V,
= 15.79 V.

Voltage division principle is used.

This way

First determine the parallel combination of R2 and RL and then find the voltage division between the resultant and R1.

Don't be so complex.

Use thevenin theorem.
So vth = 16 v and Rth = 1.6 kohm.
Voltage across Rl (load 120kohm) by VDL = (16*120K/120k+1.6k)=15.7v.

RL||R2=7.5k
and
vltg drop across 7.5k s
(7.5/(7.5+2))*20=15.79...

Rajesh madavi said:   1 decade ago
8*120/8+120 =7.5k
v=20*7.5k/7.5k+2k
=20*15/19
=300/19
=15.79v
