Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total resistance = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

= 6 + 8 + 10

= 24 OHM

Total emf = 12 V

current I = 12 / 24 = .5 A .

Voltage across R₁ = current x resistance

= .5 x 6 = 3 V

Voltage across R₂ = current x resistance

= .5 x 8 = 4 V

Voltage across R₃ = current x resistance

= .5 x 10 = 5 V

Total volts = 3 + 4 + 5

= 12 V .
