A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/12/O/N/19

Explanation
Potential divider voltage division
Steps:
- The circuit has three resistors in series across 6.0 V: variable R and two fixed resistors (values not specified).
- Voltmeter reads 2.0 V across an unspecified part of the divider.
- Without the diagram showing fixed resistor values or voltmeter position, calculate potential drop ratios using V = IR.
- Total resistance and current cannot be determined numerically.
Not enough information.
Why A is correct:
- Cannot verify; lacks fixed resistor values or voltmeter placement per potential divider formula V_out = V_in × (R_section / R_total).
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Same issue; insufficient data to compute.
- C: Same issue; insufficient data to compute.
- D: Same issue; insufficient data to compute.
Final answer: Not enough information.
