There are two 6 volt batteries and two 1.2 kohm resistors..
i.e., the total volt=12v and the total resistance =2.4 kohms.
By ohms law,
V = I/R
I = V/R
= 12/2.4 kohms
= 5 mohms

Hey suppose 6V battery are opposing each other then it's current value will become 0A.

In this question it is not mention about the terminals arrangement of the battery ?

Series aiding means 6v + 6V+ 12 v.

Total current = 12v/2.4 k ohm = 5 milli amp.

Since two 1.2 K ohm in series, current will be same in both resistors.

@all.

If series aiding means both values are + be.

If series opposing means one value + ve & another value -ve.

Gopal there are asking current through each resistor. I having doubt on that answer. Can you explain me briefly ?

Dhanancheyan said:   1 decade ago
Since the resistors are connected in series. Current through the resistors are same!

Indeed many example of question and answer for electrical motors.

The current is the same through each resistor in series circuit.

v=ir; i=v/r;

v=12
r=2.4k
i=12/2.4
i=5mA
