Answer:

Total Resistance in circuit is Fourteen Ohms (14 Ω).

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we know, if the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the sum of all the resistors.

(Important: The total resistance can only be added just when the resistors are connected in series)

Then, total resistance (TR ) is the sum of all resistors (T1 + T2, in this case)

TR = T1 + T2

According to problem data, we have:

TR = 8 Ω + 6 Ω

TR = 14 Ω
