Answer

The potential difference for wire A is $~~8.90~V$

Work Step by Step

We can find the equivalent resistance: $R_{eq} = 0.127~\Omega+0.729~\Omega = 0.856~\Omega$ We can find the current: $i = \frac{60.0~V}{0.856~\Omega} = 70.09~A$ We can find the potential difference for wire A: $\Delta V = (70.09~A)(0.127~\Omega) = 8.90~V$ The potential difference for wire A is $~~8.90~V$
