Title: Understanding Voltage Across Resistors in a Circuit

---

**Text Transcription:**

The voltage across the 200 ohm resistor is

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

- **Components:**
  - **V1 (Voltage Source):** 1 V
  - **R1 (Resistor):** 100 Ω
  - **R2 (Resistor):** 200 Ω
  - **I1 (Current Source):** 1 A

**Circuit Layout:**

The circuit consists of a series connection starting from a voltage source labeled V1, providing 1 volt. It is connected to two resistors in series:

1. **R1**, a 100 ohm resistor.
2. **R2**, a 200 ohm resistor.

The circuit continues to a current source labeled I1, indicating a current of 1 ampere flowing through the circuit.

**Understanding the Circuit:**

In this circuit, the main focus is on determining the voltage across the 200 ohm resistor (R2). To calculate this, Ohm's Law (V = I × R) can be applied:

- **Given:**
  - Current (I) through the circuit: 1 A
  - Resistance of R2: 200 Ω

- **Voltage across R2:**
  \[
  V = I \times R = 1\, \text{A} \times 200\, \Omega = 200\, \text{V}
  \]

Thus, the voltage across the 200 ohm resistor (R2) is 200 volts. This exercise helps illustrate the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a simple series circuit.
