ANSWER:

Solution 47P

Step 1 of 2

In the given case, the resistors  and  are connected in series with a battery. The current through the resistor is . Here we need to find the emf of the battery.

As resistors are connected in series, current through both the resistors is same. Let the emf of the battery be .

Equivalent resistance of the circuit will be
