For the circuit shown, with R 1 = 1.0   Ω , R 2 = 2.0   Ω , E 1 = 2   V and E 2 = E…

For the circuit shown, with R1=1.0 Ω , R2=2.0 Ω , E1=2 V and E2=E3=4 V, the potential difference between the points a and b is approximately ( in V ):
  1.  3.3
  2.  2.3
  3.  2.7
  4. 3.7

Solution

If the electric potential at point a is Va and the electric potential at point b is Vb then
Vb-Va=22+42+4212+12+12
Vb-Va=1+2+232=103

Vb-Va=3.3 V
