उत्तर
Circuit diagram
Since two resistors of 20 Ω are connected in series, the effective resistance will be
R = R1+ R2
Here, R1=20 Ω,
R2 =20 Ω
Therefore,
R = 20 Ω + 20 Ω = 40 Ω
The effective resistance of the two resistors, R= 40 Ω
(c) The current that flows from the battery,
I = V / R
I = 5 / 40
I = 0.125 A
(d) The p.d. across the 20 Ω resistor, V=`IxxR`
V = 20 x 0.125 V
V = 2.5 V
Similarly, the potential difference across the second 20 Ω resistor is equal to 2.5 V.
