Answer:

V = 0.01(R₁ + R₂)

Step-by-step explanation:

From Ohm's law, the voltage V across a resistor with resistance R and a current I passing through it is given by

V = IR

If we have two resistances, R₁ and R₂ in series, the total resistance R is the sum of their resistances.

So, R = R₁ + R₂

Now, if the current in the circuit is 0.01 A, the voltage V is

V = IR

V = 0.01R

Substituting R = R₁ + R₂ into the equation for V, we have

V = 0.01(R₁ + R₂)

So, the voltage in two series resistors with current 0.01 A is

V = 0.01(R₁ + R₂)
