Question 8

A greenhouse ventilation controller is powered by a 12.0 V supply. Before the circuit divides into branches, charge passes through a 5.0 Ω resistor carrying a current of 0.80 A. Beyond the resistor, a warning lamp and a fan are connected on separate parallel branches.

What is the potential difference across the warning lamp?
