What is the measured voltage across the 680 ohms resistor?

No one is going to be able to tell you that. You are looking for the measured voltage, so go and measure it. In any case, if you were just looking for the voltage it will depend on the circuit current. You can work it out using ohms law (Voltage = Current * Resistance).


What is the voltage of a series circuit with four voltage drops of 30 volts?

there is 120V across the circuit.


When three resistors are connected in series the amount of voltage that is measured across each one is determine by what?

The voltage drop across each resistor is determined by the amounts of resistance in the 3 resistors and all the rest of the resistances in the electrical circuit.


Is the open circuit voltage of a solar cell measured under non-illuminating condition?

Well, you should really measure the open-circuit voltage and the short circuit current both under dark and light conditions and then compare them to fully characterize a solar cell. Measuring the open-circuit voltage means measuring the voltage across the cell when no current is flowing (i.e., with a LARGE resistance as a load on the cell). Measuring the short-circuit current means measuring the current when the voltage across the circuit is essentially zero (i.e., with a VERY SMALL resistance as a load on the cell--thus, "short-circuit" current).


What is true about the sum of the voltages across the components in a circuit compared to the voltage of the cell?

voltage is devided only in series circuit and is the same at the parallel circuit

What is the source of the electrons in a circuit?

The source of electrons in a circuit is supplied by an electric potential difference across two points . This potential difference in a circuit is called as voltage and is measured in joules per coulomb or volts.
