Explanation:
Given that,
Three resistors 4ohms 6ohms 8ohms are connected in series and are connected to cell of EMF 60volt.
The equivalent resistance in series combination is given by :
R = R₁ + R₂ +R₃
Put all the values,
R = 4 + 6 + 8
R = 18 ohms
Let I is the current in circuit. So,
[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{60}{18}\\\\I=3.33\ A[/tex]
Potential difference in 4 ohms,
[tex]V_1=IR_1\\\\V_1=3.33\times 4\\\\=13.32\ V[/tex]
Potential difference in 6 ohms,
[tex]V_2=IR_2\\\\V_2=3.33\times 6\\\\=19.98\ V[/tex]
Potential difference in 8 ohms,
[tex]V_3=IR_3\\\\V_3=3.33\times 8\\\\=26.64\ V[/tex]
Terminal potential difference in circuit is :
V = IR
Put all the values,
V = 3.33 × 18
V = 59.94 volts
Hence, this is the required solution.
