(a)to find voltage of battery we use the wire containg 4 ohm resistor and 3 ohm resistor

the voltage of 4ohm = Ri=4x1.5=6V

the voltage of 3 ohm = Ri=3x1.5=4.5v

since voltage is additive in series then Voltage of batteries = 4.5+6=10.5V

(b) the currrent flowing in 20 ohm resistor is the same as 8 ohm resistor so

Voltage of 8 ohm + voltage of 20 ohm= 10.5

8i+20i=10.5

28i=10.5

i=0.375 A
