Question
**Determine the voltage across resistor \( R_2 \), given:**

\( R_1 = 26 \, \Omega \), \( R_2 = 30 \, \Omega \), and \( I_1 = 1.8 \, \text{A} \)

(Round the FINAL answer to one decimal place.)

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The circuit diagram shows a simple series circuit with the following components:
- A voltage source represented by \( E_T \).
- A series connection consisting of two resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \).
- An ammeter (\( A \)) is shown in series with the resistors, displaying the current \( I_1 \).

**Analysis:**

1. The current \( I_1 \) is constant throughout the series circuit.
2. Use Ohm's Law (\( V = IR \)) to find the voltage across each resistor.
3. For \( R_2 \), the voltage is calculated as:
   \[
   V_{R_2} = I_1 \times R_2 = 1.8 \, \text{A} \times 30 \, \Omega
   \]
