Pick the resistor values below so that the V_o is 2.5V.

What values of R_1 and R_2 would cause V_o to be 2.5V?

1) Little

Let's first consider the case when R_1 is replaced with a wire (i.e., R_1 = 0\Omega). In this case, what value of R_2 makes V_o = 2.5V? Enter a single number in the box below, representing the resistance of R_2, in ohms:

R_2 =

2) Just Right

Now, let's consider the case when R_1 is about the same size as the 1k\Omega resistors in the circuit. That is, let's assume that R_1 is between 100\Omega and 10k\Omega.

Note that there may be multiple correct answers. Any correct answer will be accepted.

Enter your answer as as Python list containing two numbers [r1,r2], where r1 is the value of R_1 in Ohms, and r2 is the value of R_2, also in Ohms.

[R_1, R_2] =
