@D.Jyothi.

Series circuit means current same and here also given voltage drop that means resistor of all branches must be equal or same.

Here, it is no equal resistance. How does it say 30v?

If he gave they are equal resistance, then it becomes 30v, right?

Anybody solve this.

He is not given that they are equal voltage, then how it is 30v?

It depends on R or I value.

Vs=-Vd.
hence Vs+Vd=0.
number of resistors=5.
voltage drop on one resistor=6V.
Total Voltage drop(Vd)=6*5=30.
Vs=-Vd.
so vs should be 30 to equalize the equation vs+Vd=0.

5 resistor having same voltage drop 6v means they are having a same resistance.

Therefor 5*6 = 30v.

The series circuit voltage is different, current is same here each resistor has 6V hence the V=V1+V2+V3+V4+V5, {6+6+6+6+6=30V} the source voltage is 30 volts.

@Kumar

Thanks for your explanation.

v=i1r1+i2r2+....i5r5
Vi=IiRi(voltage drop across each resistor )
i=1,2,3,....
V=V1+V2+V3+V4+V5
V=6+6+6+6+6=30V

Total volage drop = source voltage.
