Problem

A 6 V6\,\text{V} battery is connected in series with a 2 Ω2\,\Omega resistor and a 4 Ω4\,\Omega resistor. A voltmeter is to be used to find the potential difference across the 4 Ω4\,\Omega resistor. (a) Between which two points of the circuit should the voltmeter be connected? (b) Calculate the reading that the voltmeter is expected to show.
