Answer:
2volts
Explanation:
Let us assume the resistor are in series
Equivalent resistance = R + 2R + 3R
Equivalent resistance = 6R
Since different voltage flows through the resistors
V = IR
Given V = 12V
I = 2A
Assume R = 1ohms
V = IR
V = 2 * 1
V = 2volts
Hence the potential difference across the resister with resistance R is 2volts
