  • A V/8
  • B V/4
  • C V/3
  • D V/2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Using the voltage- divider method which states that the output voltage is directly proportional to the input voltage and the ratio of R1 and R2, given by:
\(V_{a}\) = \(\frac{R_{a}}{R_{T}}\times V_{T}\)
\(R_{T}\) = \(1 + \frac{4\times4}{4+4}\)
⇒ \(R_{T}\) = \(3\Omega\)
\(V_{1}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}V\)
