Terminal Voltage and Internal Resistance: A circuit contains two batteries and a 2.0-? resistor as shown in the figure. The emfs and internal resistances of these batteries are indicated in the figure, and all numbers are accurate to two significant figures. What are the terminal voltages of (a) the 6.0-V battery and (b) the 12-V battery?

What will be an ideal response?


(a) -1.2 V (the terminal polarity is opposite from the polarity of the internal emf) (b) 8.4 V
