Calculate the voltage across the 8 resistor.

Alright K.E.N.N.Y.😈 — let's continue from where we left off.

4.2 Calculate the reading on ammeter $A_1$.

Step 1: Calculate the voltage across the $8 \, \Omega$ resistor.

$$V_{8\Omega} = I_{8\Omega} \times R_{8\Omega} = 0.5 \, A \times 8 \, \Omega = 4 \, V$$

Step 2: Calculate the current through the $16 \, \Omega$ resistor. Since the $8 \, \Omega$ and $16 \, \Omega$ resistors are in parallel, the voltage across them is the same.
