Answer: 8Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two resistors of 4Ω

connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 4Ω

R2 = 4Ω

Rtotal = ?

Rtotal = 4Ω + 4Ω

Rtotal = 8Ω

Thus, the total resistance of the circuit is 8Ω
