The current flowing in the main circuit

swastikbiyani5: (a) When two resistors are connected in series, their resultant resistance is given by
R = R1+ R2
Here, R1=6 Ω,
         R2=2 Ω
Therefore
The resulatant resistance, R = 6 + 2 = 8 Ω

(b) The current flowing through circuit is:
   V = IR
   I = V/R = 4/8
   I = 0.5 A

(c) The p.d. across the 6 Ω resistor is:
   V = 0.5 A x 6 Ω = 3 V
