Question diagram
A

2 kΩ

B

2 kΩ

C

5 kΩ

D

4 kΩ

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

To find the voltage across the 1 kΩ resistor, we use Ohm's Law (V = I × R). Given the current i=30R+1i = \frac{30}{R + 1} mA, substituting R=1000ΩR = 1000 \, \Omega gives i=301000+1i = \frac{30}{1000 + 1} mA, which approximates to 0.03 A. Therefore, the voltage V=0.03A×1000Ω=30VV = 0.03 \, \text{A} \times 1000 \, \Omega = 30 \, \text{V}, but since we need to convert mA to A, we find that the voltage across the resistor is actually 6 V when calculated correctly.

Options B (4 V), C (5 V), and D (3 V) do not satisfy the relationship defined by Ohm's Law for the given current and resistance values.
