Find the current in the circuit:

Add R1 & R2 which are in series.

R1+R2 = 10 kohm.

Current, I = 2 m amps.

Since vout is taken,

V = IR1.

V = 2m*2k.

V = 4V.

Therefore Vout = 20-4 = 16V.

Unloaded o/p volt. means rl=0

Therefore r1&r2 are in series

i=v/r=20/(2k+8k)=2mA
v across r2 is
v=ir=2m*8k=16.
