Hello everyone, im new to electronics and though I am making some progress (slow) i need to find a little help with this question:
-In this figure, what value of R2 will make the voltage at the junction of R1 and R2 3V?
I have guessed the correct answer of 100k Ohms but want to know how the calculation / Formula for this should work.
The circuit is a series circuit with two resistors, one has the given value of 300k Ohms (R1) the other is the required value (R2) supply voltage is 12V
Many thanks for anyone that can help with an explanation.

Edit: I may have got something wrong with adding the image of the photo, I notice that if I right click on the above icon and select open in another tab it will open the image of the circuit that is in a Picasa public web album
