Series aiding is a term sometimes used to describe voltage sources of the same polarity in series. If a 5 V and a 9 V source are connected in this manner, what is the total voltage?

Answer:Total Voltage = 14V

Explanation: it is possible that a circuit can contain more than one source of electromotive force which can cause flow of current in the same or opposite direction . When the connection to voltage sources allows for current from the voltage sources to flow in same direction,it is termed Series aiding Thus, the Total/effective voltage in a series aiding circuit is computed as the sum of series aiding voltages .

Here we have the series aiding voltages to be 5V and 9V ,

therefore,

Total Voltage = 5V + 9V

= 14V
