उत्तर
Three cells of potential 2 V, each connected in series; therefore, the potential difference of the battery will be 2 V + 2 V + 2 V = 6V. The following circuit diagram shows three resistors of resistances 5 Ω, 8 Ω and 12 Ω, respectively, connected in series, and a battery of potential 6 V and a plug key, which is closed, means the current is flowing in the circuit.
