### Educational Content on Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

#### Problem Statement:
Use Kirchhoff's Voltage Law to solve for the voltage across resistor \( R_2 \) in the circuit, given:
- \( E_T = 35 \, \text{V} \)
- \( E_{R_1} = 11 \, \text{V} \)

*Round the FINAL answer to two decimal places.*

#### Circuit Diagram Explanation:
The diagram shows a simple series circuit consisting of a power source with voltage \( E_T \) and two resistors labeled \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \). The total voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each resistor.

#### Solution Process:
Using **Kirchhoff's Voltage Law**, which states that the sum of the electromotive forces (voltages) in any closed loop is equivalent to the sum of the potential drops (voltages across resistors), we can calculate:

\[
E_T = E_{R_1} + E_{R_2}
\]

Plugging in the known values:

\[
35 \, \text{V} = 11 \, \text{V} + E_{R_2}
\]

To find \( E_{R_2} \):

\[
E_{R_2} = 35 \, \text{V} - 11 \, \text{V} = 24 \, \text{V}
\]

Thus, the voltage across resistor \( R_2 \) is:

\[
E_{R_2} = 24.00 \, \text{V}
\] 

This confirms the application of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law to solve for unknown voltages in a series circuit.
