The potential difference between 
and 
in the following figure is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
This is a series connection. Further, whatever current enters 
has to pass 
.
The total resistance 
. The effective potential across the resistances is 
. But 
is opposing the potential difference across 
. Therefore the potential difference applied across 
is 
.
It does not matter in a series connection where the batteries or resistances are connected. There will be no current flow from the 
battery to the left. The arrow from the 
battery to the left could mislead.
