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
