Accepted Answer

The voltage drop across each resistor are 3 and 6 V respectively.A resistor is a two-terminal passive electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and terminate transmission lines.Two resistors are in series. So, current through R₁ and R₂ are same  I₁ = I₂Voltage at Vr₁ = 9/3R₁ × R₁                        = Vr₁ = 3VThe voltage at Vr₂ = 9/3R₂ × 2R₂                       Vr₂ = 6 VHence, Vr₂ > Vr₁Resistors are electrical components that limit or regulate the flow of current in electronic circuits. Resistors can also be used to supply specific voltages to active devices such as transistors.Resistors are passive electrical components that create resistance when current flows through them. They are found in almost all electrical networks and electronic circuits. Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).Learn more about resistors here:-https://brainly.com/question/24179042#SPJ4
