Homework Statement
The question is: What's the voltage drop between point A and B ?? (Suppose that E2 > E1)2. The attempt at a solution
First, I need to solve the current flowing in this circuit, which can be done using KVL.
The current flowing is ##\frac{E_2-E_1}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}## (which is clockwise in direction because E2 is bigger than E1)
But,I get confused in determining voltage drop between point A and B
I know that the formula is V = IR
But, I'm confused about the value of the resistor..
Is it R1 + R2 (since from point A to B the current flows from R1 to R2) ?
Or, should the resistor be the parallel series of R1-R2 and R3-R4 that makes an imaginary bridge between A and B ??
