A circuit has 3 batteries E₁=6V r₁=1, E₂=4V r₂=1, E₃=2V r₃=1 connected with same polarity. Resistance R=3 ohm in loop. Current:

Answer: 1 A.

A 1 A
B 2 A
C 3 A
D 4 A

Correct answer: A. 1 A

Explanation: Net EMF = E₁+E₂+E₃ = 12 V. Total resistance = r₁+r₂+r₃+R = 1+1+1+3 = 6 ohm. I = 12/6 = 2 A.

In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.

Concept context

Ohm's law, resistors, Kirchhoff's laws, Wheatstone bridge, and cells.
