Answer:

i dont exactly know the answer but i do know the formula

Explanation:

1/ 1/R1 + 1/ R2+

The voltage drop across the resistor [tex]R_{2}[/tex] is of 10 V.

Given data:

The voltage of the power supply is, V' = 15 V.

The series resistors are [tex]R_{1}[/tex]  and  [tex]R_{2}[/tex].

The voltage drop across the resistor [tex]R_{1}[/tex] is, V'' = 5 V.

We know that for the series resistance, the net resistance is equal to the sum of each resistance maintained in a circuit. Then,

[tex]R = R_{1} + R_{2}[/tex]

Using the Ohm's law,

[tex]\dfrac{V'}{I} = \dfrac{V''}{I}+ \dfrac{V'''}{I}[/tex]

Here, V''' is the voltage drop across the resistor [tex]R_{2}[/tex].

Solving as,

[tex]V' = V'' + V'''\\\\15 = 5 +V'''\\\\V'''=10 \;\rm V[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the voltage drop across the resistor [tex]R_{2}[/tex] is of 10 V.
