Drop accross series resistor = 7.5+4.2 = 11.7Vrms.
Vrms = 0.707*Vp.
Vp = Vrms/0.707.
= 11.7/0.707 = 16.54V.

R1+R2=7.5+4.2=11.7.

Vmax=11.7*1.414=16.543v.

Rms value is equal to dc voltage so we can add.

Hypothetically they are in phase.
As phase difference is not given.
Thus, their direct addition is possible.

Pranjal said:   8 years ago
Yes, you are correct. @HIT B.

We cannot add them directly as they are in AC circuit.

Hit B said:   10 years ago
As this is AC Circuit, then how can we add two voltages algebraically. We have to do complex summation.

Vrms = Vmax/1.414
Vmax = Vrms*1.414
= (7.5+4.2)*1.414
= 16.54 Volt

Here 7.5/.707 = 10.6

4.2/.707 = 5.800000

10.6 + 5.8 = 16.5

If in the statement component connect in series then component value will be add on all time.

peak source voltage= (v1rms+v2rms)*1.414
= (7.5+4.2)*1.414 = 16.54
