Homework Statement



Circuit schematic of two batteries in a loop: E1 = 12.0 V with internal resistance r1 = 1.0 Ω on the left, and E2 with internal resistance r2 on the right, polarities marked + at top.


(a) Calculate the magnitude and indicate the direction of flow of current in Figure 20.40. E2 = 19.0 V and r2 = 0.55 Ω.

(b) Find the terminal voltage of each battery.



Homework Equations



V = Ir

The Attempt at a Solution



I found the answer for part a to be 4.52 but i don't know how to get the second one.

I don't understand the question. It looks like you are given the battery voltages...
